How Do We Better Serve Excluded Populations When Delivering Digital Health Technology? Inclusion Evaluation of a Digital Musculoskeletal Self-Management Solution.

Background: Digital self-management platforms have been proposed as a solution to better support people manage their musculoskeletal (MSK) condition. However, research studies often explicitly exclude people who can't access internet connected devices. An important consideration is that digital exclusion (for people without access to an internet connected device) from these new digital options will worsen already existing inequality and inequity in healthcare.

A Tailored App for the Self-management of Musculoskeletal Conditions: Evidencing a Logic Model of Behavior Change.

Background: Musculoskeletal conditions such as joint pain are a growing problem, affecting 18.8 million people in the United Kingdom. Digital health interventions (DHIs) are a potentially effective way of delivering information and supporting self-management.

Physiotherapy outcome measures of haemophilia acute bleed episodes: What matters to patients?

Introduction: The research was conducted at a UK teaching hospital and Haemophilia Comprehensive Care Centre (CCC) as part of a research programme investigating physiotherapy for acute bleed management.

Aim: The aim of the study was to understand the perspectives of people with haemophilia (PWH) on validated outcome measures (OM) and whether these measures capture changes relevant to them whilst recovering from an acute bleed episode.

Methods: Any person with haemophilia registered to the CCC who reported an acute bleed within the past 2 years was invited to participate.

A randomised trial comparing the cost effectiveness of different emergency department healthcare professionals in soft tissue injury management.

Objectives: To evaluate the cost effectiveness of soft tissue injury management by emergency nurse practitioners (ENPs) and extended scope physiotherapists (ESPs) compared with the routine care provided by doctors in an emergency department (ED).

Design: Randomised, pragmatic trial of equivalence.

Setting: A single ED in England.
