Avoiding the onslaught of musculoskeletal conditions caused by Covid-19 isolation using computer vision based musculoskeletal diagnostic tools

新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19，即2019冠状病毒病）危机是我们卫生系统70年来面临的最大挑战。绝大多数努力都正确地集中在拯救生命上。然而，至关重要的是，我们要减轻危机的中期和长期连锁效应，并为此做好准备。这些影响之一是肌肉骨骼问题的大量增加，如背痛。随着数千万人被限制在家工作，成千上万的肌肉骨骼手术或治疗患者被搁置，大多数人的久坐行为大幅增加，如果我们不采取任何干预措施，这种雪崩式的肌肉骨骼问题是不可避免的。该项目将利用Vitrue现有的肌肉骨骼诊断技术，通过进一步创新来减少所有三个引入的问题不需要任何专业设备，这意味着它将向全体人口开放。此外，该项目将产生可在国际上商业化的产品，作为白色标签的工具提供给医疗保健提供者和NHS，以减轻COVID 19危机对肌肉骨骼健康服务造成的巨大压力。

The Covid-19 crisis represents the largest challenge to our health system in seventy years. The vast majority of efforts are rightly focused on saving lives. However it is crucial that we mitigate and prepare for the medium and long term knock on effects of the crisis. One of these effects in the massive increase in musculoskeletal problems such as back pain. With tens of millions of people confined to working from home, tens of thousands of patients with musculoskeletal surgeries or treatments put on hold and the sedentary behaviours of most of the population massively increased, this avalanche of musculoskeletal issues is inevitable if we do nothing to intervene.This project will capitalise on Vitrue's existing musculoskeletal diagnostic technology by innovating further to reduce all three of the problems introduced above without the need for any specialist equipment meaning it will be accessible to the population as a whole. Additionally the project will result in products that can be commercialised internationally, provided as white labelled tools for healthcare providers and to the NHS to alleviate the massive strain placed on musculoskeletal health services by the Covid 19 crisis.
