- • In discussion with Versus Arthritis (exploration)
Glow: “Hello, great to see you again Mrs Smith! How are you feeling today?”
You: “Hi Glow, great to see you too! I feel a little sore on my back and shoulder.”
Glow: “I’m sorry to hear you’re feeling sore, Mrs. Smith. Let’s take a closer look together. I recall last time you mentioned some stiffness in your neck — has that improved?”
Pain • Mood • Activity — tracked
Problem
Arthritis is common, costly, and under-supported between visits
Guidelines emphasise exercise, education and weight management as first-line care, yet delivery is inconsistent and adherence is hard — especially with long gaps between appointments.
- Millions live with arthritis in the UK; MSK conditions are a leading cause of disability.
- Exercise and supported self-management can improve pain and function in many cohorts.
- Clinicians need simple ways to keep patients engaged between visits.
Solution
FitPath® → adaptive plan → shareable progress
1) 30-second check-ins
Log pain, stiffness, mood, and movement.
2) Adaptive guidance
Gentle, graded mobility & recovery matched to the day.
3) One-page summary
Simple trends for patients; clear snapshot for clinicians.
Evidence
Grounded in guidance and emerging digital health evidence
- Exercise and education are core for osteoarthritis management (NICE NG226).
- Digital self-management can support pain, function and self-efficacy in some groups.
- Real-world adherence is the hard part — FitPath® is designed for small, sustainable wins.
