Novel app-based incentivisation to compliance to home-exercise programmes for improved outcomes in musculoskeletal rehabilitation

On The Mend是由一位身体康复患者、骨科外科医生和理疗师创建的，目的是给康复之旅带来革命性的变化。我们的目标是改善患者的依从性和体验，同时为临床医生提供及时和一致的结果数据，以提高服务效率和及时干预。这个项目是我们想要探索的一系列方法中的第一个。它侧重于自我保健的一个基本方面：健康行为的改变和激励因素。类似的概念已经在私人健康保险环境中部署，事实证明对提供者和消费者都非常有益。随着工作人员健康和福祉的改善以及工作生产率的提高，已经证明了高度的遵从性。尽管如此，参与健康和福祉方案的内在和外在动机的基本概念尚未在肌肉骨骼康复中得到探索。我们的方法有三个目标：改善患者体验，改善健康结果，降低人均医疗成本。

On The Mend was established by a physical rehabilitation patient, orthopaedic surgeon and physiotherapist in a bid to revolutionise the rehabilitation journey. The ambition is to improve patient adherence and experience, meanwhile providing clinicians with timely and consistent outcome data to improve service efficiency and timely intervention.This project is the first in a range of approaches that we want to explore. It focusses on a fundamental aspect of self-care: health behaviour change and motivational factors.A similar concept has been deployed within the private health insurance setting and proved extremely beneficial to both providers and consumers. High levels of adherence have been demonstrated, with improved health and wellbeing of staff and increased productivity at work. Despite this, the underlying concepts of intrinsic and extrinsic motivators to engage with a health and wellbeing programme have not yet been explored within musculoskeletal rehabilitation. Our approach has a triple aim: improve the patient experience, improve health outcomes and reduce the per capita cost of healthcare.
