Abstract

Digital health literacy is a skill that enables individuals to access health information from digital platforms, critically evaluate that information, and effectively participate in health processes. This study was prepared as a literature review aimed at evaluating the role and impact of digital health literacy in physical therapy processes. The literature indicates that digital health literacy promotes patient engagement, enhances the effectiveness of treatment processes, and facilitates access to healthcare services through innovative approaches such as telerehabilitation. However, it is noted that a low level of digital health literacy can adversely affect the treatment process. In this review, the use of digital health technologies in physical therapy, the challenges encountered, and proposed solutions are discussed. The study emphasizes the importance of educational programs and user-friendly technologies for improving digital health literacy
