“Apps help orthopaedic patients prepare for surgery”
Thank you BBC News for highlighting the impact that COVID-19 has had on the many thousands of people who are awaiting joint replacements and other orthopaedic procedures.
“The coronavirus pandemic has meant healthcare systems having to delay non-emergency surgery.
In England the NHS delayed more than two million planned operations to free up hospital beds for potential Covid-19 patients.
Doctors around the country are now looking at ways they can remotely assist thousands of patients waiting for joint surgery. This includes the creation of apps and new tools to monitor patients in new and detailed ways.”

Thank you to Brian Lewis for sharing your story, we wish you all the very best!
Thank you also to Professor Tim Board and the whole team at Wrightington Hospital - it is an honour and a pleasure to be working with you. Here’s to the next steps!
The Joint School app; tailor-made myrecovery app pathways and our Deep Vision Motion Capture technology can help in different ways.
The Joint School app can help to support, inform and empower people who are waiting and getting ready for surgery.
Customised myrecovery app pathways enable surgeons and their team to engage with their patients and support them towards their treatment goals.
Using Artificial Intelligence, our video-assisted Range of Movement (ROM) algorithm can help people who have had a knee replacement and their surgeons to track post-operative progress.
We look forward to giving further updates soon!
