ESCAPE-pain

ESCAPE-pain: Enabling management of arthritic pain

ESCAPE-pain is an innovative, rehabilitation programme for people with chronic knee or hip pain, commonly known as osteoarthritis. The programme is hosted by the Health Innovation Network and supported by NHS England. The programme delivers the NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) core recommendations of exercise and education for the management of osteoarthritis.

This app was developed in conjunction with physiotherapists from the Health Innovation Network in London to bring the ESCAPE-pain programme to more people.

During 12 sessions, over 6 weeks:

• Engaging animations give simple advice and information that help you learn what is good and bad for you, so that you can help yourself cope better with the effects of joint pain.

• Short quality HD videos show you how to perform simple exercises, removing the guesswork of whether you are doing the exercises correctly, and help you become more active.

You can plot your progress to see how you are improving.

The ESCAPE-pain app is innovative and visually engaging, helping to keep you motivated and tracking your progress and exercise completion. Feel empowered and in control of your recovery.

Main Features: Platform to receive videos of exercises and advice from the ESCAPE-pain team.

Interactive Progress Tracking with built-in assessments, stats & feedback to chart Personal Exercise Completion and time spent exercising.
