Abstract

The digital transformation of healthcare (eHealth) has been a longstanding priority on the European Union's agenda. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrably underscored the critical importance of eHealth solutions. This paper presents a response to this urgency by outlining approaches and solutions for online rehabilitation developed within the Erasmus+ joint project " Development of digital skills for online rehabilitation therapies/e-KINE" with the close collaboration and efforts of hospitals and higher education institutions from Turkey, Bulgaria, and Romania.
