Backing app

Much of the content of the RealHealth program has been carefully developed over the past 12 years with a view to improving the situation of chronic lower back pain patients, most of whom have suffered from pain for over a decade. Nevertheless, much of the program’s content is applicable to early-stage patients; those who potentially may become chronic sufferers but are not yet there.

For these patients, Sint Maartenskliniek is developing the Backing App, which uses the advice and insights of the RealHealth program as tools to mitigate further possible pain and discomfort. As part of the app, patients must record a video to describe their issues, which triggers a response system within the app and makes relevant content available to the patient.
