Evaluation of a Connected Interface (Rheumatologist, Physiotherapist, Patient) to Improve the Quality of Life and the Disability of Patients With Rheumatic Diseases
Musculoskeletal pathologies constitute a major public health problem. Rheumatologists, whether they practice in private or hospital settings, play a major role in the management of responsible for these ailments.
Due to the increase in life expectancy, an increase in the number of consultations can be expected. It is therefore imperative that the latter be more efficient, without losing quality.
Communication between doctor and patient is bound to evolve due to the multiplicity of IT tools available and those that are emerging, which are increasingly essential, including many smartphone applications. Each targeting a specific pathology (rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, osteoporosis osteoarthritis, they will allow the patient to self-assess, thus becoming an actor in his own care.
A "facilitated" exchange between caregivers and patients would be relevant and would provide added value for all. This is the reason why there is a real need for an application listing precise information on the patient, in a sufficiently succinct way to optimize their transmission to the physiotherapist.
