Abstract

Cause GRZPLUS (Omring + Zorgkring) offers the CO FIT+ program for geriatric rehabilitation after a COVID-19 infection. In order to monitor and guide functioning in the home situation, activity monitoring has been used in combination with coaching (Hopper system) and remote guidance (including video calling). Goal Making activity monitoring combined with remote guidance applicable in the CO FIT+ rehabilitation program for geriatric rehabilitation patients who have experienced COVID-19. Results This project shows that activity monitoring has added value for the treatment of geriatric rehabilitation patients in recovery after COVID-19. Activity monitoring must be used for a clear purpose with the rehabilitation patient and this must be clearly discussed with the rehabilitation patient. Although video calling has not yet been included in the rehabilitation program, both rehabilitators and healthcare professionals are open to its application.
