About the presentation

Telerehabilitation is changing how health services are delivered to older adults by helping to overcome barriers such as distance and limited access to care. However, not all older adults benefit equally. Challenges with access to technology, digital skills, privacy, and socioeconomic differences raise important questions of ethics and equity. In this talk, Dr. Mirella Veras will discuss these issues and highlight ways to ensure telerehabilitation becomes more inclusive, fair, and responsive to the needs of diverse older adult populations.
