Another area for which telemedicine can be very effective is physical therapy. Darwin Fogt, a licensed physical therapist, launched telerehab services with his company Phzio (pronounced “fizz-io”) more than five years ago—and says the growth over the past few weeks has been “exponential.” (So much so that the company is still trying to gather accurate data to share.) “Physical therapy has been historically thought of as a hands-on profession, but research has shown that the only thing that consistently provides long-term positive outcomes is therapeutic exercises performed by the patient,” Fogt explains. For this area of medicine, virtual services work extremely well because physical therapists (PTs) are easily able to assess a patient’s condition based on diagnostic movements and motion, and then deliver them a series of exercises they can do at home while being monitored through the screen, with exercises they can do without monitoring at home.
