Tele-rehabilitation
The Need
Rehabilitation is a cornerstone of recovery for wounded soldiers and civilians. Regaining functionality after injury or illness is a long-term journey, demanding consistent patient effort. For individuals facing mobility limitations or residing in remote areas, access to high-quality rehabilitation can be a significant hurdle.
This is where remote rehabilitation emerges as a powerful solution. Delivering therapy directly to patients’ homes removes geographical barriers and caters to those with limited mobility. This empowers them to actively participate in their recovery, regardless of location.

Tele-rehabilitation
Following the October 7 attacks, Sheba Beyond, Israel’s first virtual hospital, rapidly expanded its capacity by over 35% to accommodate a surge in patients. This leading program at Sheba Medical Center offers top-notch tele-rehabilitation, allowing patients to receive physical and mental therapy sessions online from home. Our skilled therapists provide personalized care through the innovative ReAbility online platform, which includes physical, occupational, and speech therapy sessions. With 44% of our tele-rehabilitation patients living outside central Israel, we’ve proven it’s a convenient option for everyone. Since 2021, we’ve seen a 48% increase in patients and an 87% patient satisfaction rate.
