[[New rehabilitation space concept in the age of Digital Healthin cardio-respiratory rehabilitation]
Abstract
Rehabilitation Specialized Medicine offers new developments in relation to the new technologies, new demography, life expectation and chronicity. The same attention that in modern health systems is given to quality process and outcome, should also concern the hospital structural aspects, in order to humanize these spaces. In this perspective, the definition of a structure easy to access with well-defined areas within it, such us an external waiting area, reception area and work area, represents an integration which allows to achieve the goal of providing quality performance. The need of a new concept of rehabilitation space in the cardio-respiratory area, especially that of the Gymnasium, must be developed keeping in consideration the main scientific guidelines in cardio-respiratory field. Consequently, this will have four dedicated areas respectively to evaluation, aerobic training, strength training and educational, each one characterized by different colors. The abstract idea of "digital comprehensive rehabilitation", in which are inserted all rehabilitative services facilitated by the gym digitalization, are located in this context, and their main aim is to answer to the patient needs.
