Science & Evidence

FitPath™ is built on evidence-based pillars of movement, recovery, and behavioural adherence. We draw on published clinical guidelines and emerging digital health research.

Clinical foundations

NICE guideline NG226 recommends exercise, education, and weight management as core first-line treatments for osteoarthritis. The WHO recognises musculoskeletal conditions as a leading cause of disability worldwide. FitPath™ is designed to support these recommendations in the gaps between clinical appointments.

Digital self-management

Emerging evidence from the BMJ, Lancet, and Cochrane reviews suggests that digital self-management tools can improve pain, function, and self-efficacy in people with osteoarthritis — particularly when guidance is personalised and adaptive.

Our approach

Real-world adherence is the hard part. FitPath™ is designed for small, sustainable wins — daily check-ins that take 30 seconds, movement adapted to how you feel today, and progress visible over time. We are building toward clinical validation through NHS pilot partnerships.
