Overview

getUBetter is a self-management app designed for all common muscle, bone and joint injuries and conditions. It can be used to support new, recurrent, and long-term injuries and conditions.

There are 8 MSK recovery pathways available:

  • back,
  • back and leg,
  • knee,
  • neck,
  • shoulder,
  • lower limb (soft tissue injury)
  • ankle
  • hip

The app is personalised to reflect the date of injury and how the patient is feeling. It includes, information and guidance, exercises, and access to local services to help throughout the recovery journey and can then be used as a preventative tool.

getUBetter has introduced touch-to-speak (TTS). Users are now able to turn any text into audio in the language of their choosing, transforming their digital experience with just a touch of a finger. 14 different languages are available.

Access to the app can be created via text through AccuRx. Patients can also be directed to the app by Care Navigators, via your GP website or through the QR code on the posters, leaflets or business cards available at your practice.

If you would like any more information about the app, more resources or have any questions please contact Jenni@getubetter.com
