Penny, a 40 year old graphic designer had been seeing her physiotherapist on and off for low back pain for 3 years. Things were still pretty up and down. She’d been consistent with her strengthening and mobility exercises making sure she put aside 15 minutes every day to get that done. She had also made sure her workstation was set up well and she took frequent breaks to walk around and move. But she could never fully shift the pain in her back and she’d started to accept that maybe it would never go.

At TrackActive Pro we believe in evidence-based rehabilitation. For over 70% of exercises included in our database, we summarise, reference and provide links to research that have studied an exercise or a protocol of exercises.

However, we also believe in innovation in exercise rehabilitation. Innovation is at the core of progression in any industry or field of study. Innovation in healthcare will lead to improved patient outcomes, and therefore improved health. And with exercise methods increasingly being shown to improve outcomes across a broad range of chronic diseases and conditions, innovation is so important to continue this trend.

Healthcare and the influence that technology will have on its delivery and value is an exciting and ever-changing space. To look at a broad overview of the intersection of healthcare and technology we first need to examine the history of the healthcare and technology interface and define some key technology concepts.

TrackActive Pro is exercise prescription software for clinics and everyday patients. Due to the customisable nature of TrackActive Pro it is also being used within elite sport to deliver performance and rehabilitation programs to athletes.

Several months back we published a blog about why patients don’t do their exercises. With adherence to exercise being so important to achieving optimal outcomes we wanted to revisit this all-important topic. This time let’s look at the reasons why your patients WILL do their exercises.

Regardless of whether a clinic is moving from the traditional paper-based patient notes to a PMS, or changing the PMS they use; like any technology change these changes can come with some trepidation, flashbacks to Y2K and some good ol’ technophobic fear. So here’s 5 things to consider when moving to or changing PMS.
