An open-source platform expanding access to rehabilitation services
OpenTeleRehab is a multidisciplinary telerehabilitation platform that supports the remote identification, referral, and delivery of rehabilitation services. It connects healthcare providers, rehabilitation professionals, healthcare workers, and service users to strengthen continuity of care across the rehabilitation pathway and support universal health coverage.

Why it matters
Access to rehabilitation remains limited in many settings due to distance, workforce shortages, fragmented referral pathways, and barriers to regular in-person care. OpenTeleRehab helps organizations deliver rehabilitation services remotely.
By combining administrative, provider and patients solutions, the platform helps extend service reach while supporting coordinated and person-centered care.
What the platform includes
OpenTeleRehab is built around three interconnected modules

Admin Portal
For managing users, content, permissions, and system settings across the platform. It supports flexible, decentralized administration models.
Healthcare Portal
For rehabilitation professionals to manage patients, create treatment plans, monitor progress, schedule appointments, and communicate through messaging, voice, and video calls. Primary healthcare workers, when appropriately trained, can provide basic rehabilitation services.
Mobile App
For patients to access treatment plans, complete daily activities, view appointments, and communicate with therapists and healthcare workers. Primary healthcare workers can also use the app to manage patients, conduct patient assessments, initiate referrals, and organize follow-up.
Library
An open-access web platform where exercises, education materials, and questionnaires can be accessed, reviewed, and contributed to by the wider rehabilitation community.
