About

Ioanna Tzonichaki is a researcher at the forefront of digital health, specializing in home-based rehabilitation technologies and their integration into modern healthcare systems. Her major contribution lies in systematically mapping the landscape of digital tools—from wearable sensors to virtual reality platforms—that enable patients to perform rehabilitation exercises remotely. Her seminal work, the 2023 scoping review "Technologies in Home-Based Digital Rehabilitation," has garnered 105 citations, reflecting its critical role in guiding clinicians and policymakers during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the shift to home care became urgent. Tzonichaki’s research identifies key gaps in current technologies, such as the lack of personalized feedback and interoperability, and proposes frameworks for future development. By synthesizing evidence across multiple studies, she has provided a foundational resource for designing effective, patient-centered digital rehabilitation programs. Her work not only highlights the potential of remote care to reduce healthcare burdens but also underscores the need for rigorous evaluation of these technologies. For students and researchers entering the field of digital health, Tzonichaki’s reviews offer an essential roadmap for understanding how technology can transform rehabilitation and improve patient outcomes in home settings.
