Flok Health: Developing a pocket physiotherapist to deliver personalised healthcare at population scale

Flok正在开发一个端到端理疗提供的改变游戏规则的平台，具有先进的算法决策和突破性的响应性视频流媒体运动处方和疼痛管理。这些技术模拟个人理疗师的体验，能够在人口规模上提供护理服务。患者可以立即获得引人入胜的、完全个性化的黄金标准背痛治疗，无需等待全科医生/理疗预约。慢性背痛是全球残疾的主要原因，是欧洲病假和过早退出劳动力队伍的头号原因，具有巨大的社会影响，包括增加抑郁风险，降低生活质量。英国的直接医疗成本为123亿GB/年，美国为1350亿美元/年。通过快速获得正确的治疗，深刻的破坏性影响是可以避免的，然而，目前NHS的等待名单是14周以上，在此期间，20%的患者出现慢性疼痛。一旦被看到，对NHS的需求意味着患者通常只被提供1-2次物理治疗预约，打印出通用练习，没有支持性的心理干预，也没有监测或治疗调整。人们迫切需要更好的护理，英国国民健康保险制度将投资3.1亿GB用于肌肉骨骼护理和抑郁症的数字解决方案。Flok是由一名前运动员共同创立的，因为他意识到，在精英运动员可以立即接受高度个性化的护理并在一周内重返比赛的地方，普通患者要等几个月才能得到不充分的治疗，许多人不可避免地会出现慢性疼痛。Flok的使命是将世界上最好的理疗诊所放在每个需要它的人的口袋里。Flok最初有一个“数字理疗师”，在NHS内部进行了测试，但目前的版本只能支持一小部分同时使用的用户。该项目将开发提供人口规模护理所需的技术，同时有10,000多名用户访问我们响应式的理疗，并开发数据驱动的自动化，以提高参与度和结果。

Flok is developing a game-changing platform for end-to-end physiotherapy provision, with advanced algorithmic decision-making and ground-breaking responsive video-streamed exercise prescription and pain management. These technologies simulate the experience of a personal physiotherapist, enabling care delivery at population-scale. Patients get immediate access to engaging, completely personalised, gold standard treatment for their back pain, with no waiting lists for GP/physiotherapy appointments.Chronic back pain is the leading cause of disability globally, the number one cause of sick leave and premature exit from the workforce in Europe, with enormous social impact including increased depression risk reduced quality of life. Direct healthcare costs are £12.3bn/year in UK and $135bn/year in US. The profoundly damaging impacts are avoidable with fast access to the right treatment, however current NHS waiting lists are 14+ weeks, during which 20% of patients develop chronic pain. Once seen, demands on the NHS mean patients are typically offered just 1-2 physiotherapy appointments, printouts of generic exercises, no supporting psychological interventions, and no monitoring or treatment adjustments. There is urgent need for better care, and the NHS is set to invest £310m into digital solutions for musculoskeletal care and depression.Flok was co-founded by a former athlete upon realising that where elite athletes can receive immediate, highly personalised care and return to competition within a week, normal patients are waiting months for inadequate treatment, and many are avoidably developing chronic pain. Flok's mission is to put the world's best physiotherapy clinic in the pocket of everyone who needs it.Flok has an initial "digital physiotherapist," tested within the NHS, but the current version can only support a small number of simultaneous users. This project will develop the technology needed to deliver care at population scale, with 10,000s of simultaneous users accessing our responsive physiotherapy, and data-driven automation to improve engagement and outcomes.
