Users' Perception and Readiness of the eChez-Soi In-Home Telerehabilitation Platform

This longitudinal preliminary study aims to describe the components and features of the eChez-Soi home-based telerehabilitation platform, and present preliminary results on practitioners' readiness for and perception of its usability. Four patients receiving chemotherapy treatments for lung cancer followed an 8-week home-based telerehabilitation program with the new eChez-Soi platform and four healthy adults used it for 2 weeks. The users' perception was very good, with an overall satisfaction rate of 4.6±0.4 (max. score=5) for the patients, 4.8±0.2 for the healthy adults and 4.4±0.3 for the practitioners. Total practitioner telehealth readiness was 73.5±9.1 (max score=85), suggesting that certain items, for at least one practitioner, may adversely impact the use of telehealth. These preliminary results support the usability of this new platform and suggest that practitioner telehealth readiness is reinforced with experience.
