Abstract
Is it possible to analyze the world in the same way, after this globalized and most widespread event of all time? Of course, not; the complexity of this event leads us to the need to address many changes, especially in the health area. Indeed, the pandemic course of COVID-19 has led us to a true digital revolution in such a way that the reality as we know it will be something of the "last century". We live in moments of changing care practices where it is essential to discuss the advantages and potential of other health resources, abandoning a traditionalist view of care. Although the tremendous technological development of the last decades, the health sector is still structured in a historical model of mandatory personal interactions between people and health professionals, that is, in need of face-to-face interaction. Now, the times are of transition, in what can be called hybrid care, functioning as a bridge between the traditional provision of face-to-face care and digital health solutions. These aspects must also be integrated when we think about rehabilitation and its wide range of interventions.
