Purpose: Current evidence on the use of eHealth in geriatric rehabilitation is limited. This aim of this study was to achieve international consensus on three key eHealth-related topics in geriatric rehabilitation: the use, domains, and scientific evaluation of eHealth. Additionally, we developed a model that provides insight into the use of eHealth in geriatric rehabilitation. Methods: An international, two-round Delphi study was conducted. Two models served as a framework for the initial statement draft, with a total of 28 statements based on our systematic review results, an international survey, and expert opinion. Eligible healthcare professionals working in geriatric rehabilitation facilities were recruited across 10 countries. Results: Eighty healthcare professionals participated in round one and 47 in round two. In the first round, consensus was obtained for 20 of the 28 statements (71%). Prior to round two, four statements were revised, two statements were combined, and one statement was removed. In round two, consensus was obtained on six statements, bringing the total to 26: three related to the use of eHealth, five to the domains of eHealth, and 18 related to the scientific evaluation of eHealth. Conclusion: International consensus has been reached on the use, domains, and scientific evaluation of eHealth in geriatric rehabilitation. This first step in generating reliable knowledge and understandable information will help promote a consistent approach to the development, implementation, and scientific evaluation of eHealth in geriatric rehabilitation.
