A physiotherapist in Co Kerry has designed a software package which assists patients in their recovery from Covid-19. The software offers clinicians and patients remote access to physiotherapy programmes and will be rolled out in hospitals in Ireland, Britain and the US in the coming days.
The new software enables clinicians to customise and individualise an exercise prescription which can be implemented remotely.
With the software clinicians can video-call the patient, update an exercise programme and deliver videos of the home exercise programme to the patient.
Aoife Ní Mhuirí, a physiotherapist and lecturer in IT Tralee, who designed the software says the therapy programmes will greatly enhance the overall recovery plan for patients
