    Abstract
  • Burn rehabilitation has long transcended the physical repair of "breaking before rebuilding" at the superficial skin layer, evolving into a complex project concerning the systemic reconstruction of life quality. Its multi-dimensional nature demands breakthroughs not only in the scope of physiological recovery but also in the technical challenges related to limb function reconstruction. This necessitates integrated interventions that encompass acute care, functional rehabilitation training, and social reintegration, a process that typically lasts from several months to several years. Globally, the vast majority of the millions of newly burned patients each year embark on this long-term rehabilitation process. Nevertheless, the current clinical rehabilitation model has notable limitations. With the profound integration of digital technologies and medical field, burn rehabilitation has entered a new stage of "digital transformation", evolving from localized technological exploration to a comprehensive, multi-dimensional integrated model. This paper systematically examines the theoretical underpinnings of digital transformation in burn rehabilitation, analyzes the limitations of traditional models in assessment, treatment, and doctor-patient collaboration, and delineates the evolutionary trajectory of digitalization from data digitization and single-technology utilization to integrated transformation. It explores the key applications and empirical impacts of digital technologies in rehabilitation assessment, treatment, and patient management, identifies challenges such as technical cost barriers, data security ethics, and regional development disparities, and proposes technical development directions towards intelligent, integrated, and cost-effective solutions, along with multi-dimensional collaborative strategies. These findings offer theoretical support and practical guidance for digital transformation in this field, propelling burn rehabilitation from traditional passive models to proactive and precise paradigms.
