Abstract

This study explores potential remedies for patients receiving home health care. It attempts to shed light on the psychological and physical problems that patients face and how these obstacles to care can be removed by using supportive therapies like music therapy and telemedicine. Additionally, it looks at various forms of supporting healthcare, where patients can receive treatment closer to medical experts who can help with home, physical, and psychological therapy. Home-treatment patients may not be actively seeking medical assistance, which is concerning and could be reduced. They may also be treated too frequently, insufficiently frequently, or incorrectly handle medication and equipment. Results show that adopting music therapy as a supporting dose and switching to telehealth during the COVID-19 Pandemic yield positive effects in many studies. To prevent or reduce specific health risks among patients receiving home therapy, there are, nevertheless, several implementation and execution-related restrictions and impediments that need to be looked into.
