eWellness looks to train physical therapists in its digital PT program

eWellness Healthcare Corp (OTCQB:EWLL) announced Thursday that it has kicked off a weekly PHZIO system webinar training program for physical therapists who would like to become experts in treating patients via its digital course of physical therapy.

The new program has been set up to recruit more physical therapists to take on cases coming from existing and future workman’s compensation contracts handled by eWellness.

“Our focus is to highlight that a majority of all future physical therapy treatments can be accomplished with a smart phone,” said Darwin Fogt, eWellness’s CEO in a statement. “This new digital adoption will lower patient treatment costs, expand patient treatment access and improve patience compliance.”

So far, over 200 physical therapists have been trained on eWellness’s PHZIO platform.

Based in Culver City, California, eWellness is a physical therapy telehealth company that offers an online course of physical therapy treatments. It is looking to license its PHZIO platform to physical therapy clinics and have employers use the PHZIO platform as part of corporate wellness programs.

According to eWellness, about 80% of all physical therapy assessments and treatments can be done on a patient’s smart phone while at home.
