“…The use of WhatsApp has been common for telemedicine services, including in this study. WhatsApp Messenger is one of the most popular applications for dispensing telemedicine, and its use as such is increasing worldwide (Meeuwis, van Rooijen, & Verhagen, 2020). WhatsApp prevents patients from unnecessary travel to and from hospitals (Malwade et al, 2021).…”

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the delivery of healthcare, including the adoption of distance delivery of care. Telemedicine was commonly used to expand the reach and access of health services and prevent the spread of COVID-19. This is particularly important for self-isolating patients at home. Despite this importance, few studies have evaluated public perceptions on this service. Objective: To describe public perceptions about telemedicine services for COVID-19 self-isolated patients. Method: An observational research design with cross-sectional approach was conducted on patients who had experienced COVID-19 self-isolation. Respondents were recruited using a consecutive sampling method. They were asked to complete an online questionnaire measuring perceptions about telemedicine services. The results were analysed using descriptive statistic. Result: Overall, 130 respondents participated in the survey. Large portion of respondents perceived the benefits and the need for telemedicine services for COVID-19 self-isolated patients. WhatsApp was the most common platform used for the services. The majority of respondents agreed that telemedicine was the best option for delivering health services during COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusion: Telemedicine has important applications for care during the COVID-19 pandemic and especially for self-isolating patients.

“…Li et al (62) found agreement on ADL assessments (using the Modified Barthel Index), between home visit assessment and video-conference assessment though the mobile WeChat app (62). Meeuwis et al (68) concluded that including the WhatsApp Messenger (a text messaging program) may be a useful contribution in the modern neurological examination to detect cognitive deficits (68). Chang et al (43) and Cooray et al (40) developed app solutions for assessment of disability/dependency after stroke, using the modified Ranking Scale (mRS).…”

Aim: The aim of this study was to describe, and review evidence of mobile and web-based applications being used to support the rehabilitation process after stroke. The secondary aim was to describe participants’ stroke severity, and use of applications in relation to, respectively, the setting and phase of the rehabilitation process. Method: A scoping review methodology was used to identify studies, through databases as PubMed, Cinahl, Embase and AMED. Additionally, grey literature was searched. The studies were categorized using the model of rehabilitation by Derick Wade. Results: The literature search resulted in 10,142 records. Thirty-six studies were included in which applications were used to support: assessment (n=13); training (n=20); discharge from hospital (n=2); and both training and discharge from hospital (n=1). Of the 36 studies, 25 studies included participants with mild to moderate stroke, and four studies included participants with severe stroke. In seven studies the stroke severity was not reported. Eighteen studies included participants with chronic stroke, 12 acute-subacute stroke, and three included participants with acute and/or subacute and/or chronic stroke. In three studies, stroke onset was not reported. Applications were used in a rehabilitation setting (n=16), home setting (n=13), both settings (n=3). In four studies the setting were not reported. Conclusion: Most included studies of applications developed to support the rehabilitation process after stroke have been explorative. They included primarily participants with mild or moderate stroke and focused on a limited aspect of the rehabilitation process, e.g., assessment or training. Future applications to support stroke rehabilitation should accommodate stroke survivors’ and caregivers’ need for solutions, irrespective of stroke severity and throughout the entire rehabilitation process.
