The concept of “meeting patients where they are” transcends medicine. The idea itself is one of the reasons that compelled me to join the medical profession; a field that continues to inspire me. The transcendence of this concept can be observed in a variety of patients that ranges from those who experience an unexpected stroke to those working through the effects of COVID-19. Each of these patients has a different and specific set of rehab needs, and technology can help meet those needs regardless of where patients are on the recovery continuum.
