Telerehabilitation has emerged as a vital component of oncology care, particularly under challenging conditions where access to healthcare services may be restricted. This Letter to the Editor provides an update from Ukraine on a pioneering hybrid cloud-based platform designed for the patient-centered telerehabilitation of oncology patients. We summarize the project’s main outcomes, including the development of advanced AI-driven models, comprehensive methodological guidelines, and specialized software services. Notably, the platform underwent clinical approbation at the nonprofit organization “National Cancer Institute,” where its capacity for continuous patient monitoring, real-time data integration, and personalized rehabilitation interventions was demonstrated. Furthermore, the efficacy and innovation of this platform were showcased at the 4th National Congress of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine in Ukraine, highlighting its potential to optimize resource allocation and improve patient outcomes. By merging mathematical and AI-based methods, the project underscores the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in developing robust telerehabilitation ecosystems. We hope that this update contributes to the dialogue on expanding and refining telerehabilitation solutions globally, particularly in the realm of oncology care.
