Objective To conduct a scoping review on studies of tele-health management for stroke patients at home.
Methods According to the reporting framework of scoping review, a systematic literature search was performed in 9 databases or websites from January 1, 2013 to May 1, 2023.
Results A total of 52 literatures from 12 countries were included, most of which were interventional studies. Tele-health management was gradually becoming a trend in the application of stroke patients at home, relying on rehabilitation robots, virtual reality rehabilitation games, social platforms, home health network platforms and other carriers for rehabilitation training, disease monitoring, health education and guidance, follow-up and reminder.
Conclusion The contents of tele-health management for stroke patients at home are abundant, with many evaluation indexes. In the future, rehabilitation training should enhance the gameplay of rehabilitation video games, improve patient's experience, and use artificial intelligence based on medical big data to provide auxiliary support for patients; at the same time, the content of each module of the tele-health management program should be standardized, and caregivers are encouraged to participate in the tele-health management of stroke patients at home, so as to better play the role of tele-health management in the field of post-stroke health management at home.
