FORCE Packs deliver mobile flights of care for iPhone, iPad & iPod Touch
NEW YORK - April 18th, 2013 - FORCE Therapeutics is proud to announce the release of FORCE Injury Packs for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, available now on the App Store. FORCE Packs are injury specific rehab solutions with custom flights of care and can be e-prescribed by doctors or directly downloaded by patients.
FORCE Packs give patients with musculoskeletal injuries (such as back or shoulder pain) access to injury-specific rehab exercise videos, expert advice, treatment information, common symptoms and the ability to set and track goals. Patients are prompted to engage in their rehab with easy to use and immediately accessible mobile tools. Success and progress can be automatically shared, motivating patients on their road to recovery through Facebook and email.
FORCE Injury Packs benefit healthcare professionals who treat patients requiring physical rehabilitation. Physicians can instantly prescribe specific FORCE Injury Packs via web-based widget tools or paper-based prescription pads. Physicians can also build their own customized protocol packs for pre or post surgical patients. Three years of research by a team of prominent physical therapists have produced the FORCE video exercise library. These high definition rehab exercise videos are easy to follow, promote proper technique and offer a smart first response to common injuries.
Starting rehab within the first 14 days of injury has been shown to significantly reduce the cost of care and shorten time to full recovery*. Rehabilitation is a major healthcare cost -- a recent report by Optum Health cited musculoskeletal injuries as the top medical expenditure in the US over the last three years. FORCE Injury Packs are recommended as an adjunct to traditional physical therapy and can also be used to find local specialists via the FORCE mobile directory.
The FORCE Packs App is available for free from the App Store on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch or at www.AppStore.com. Specific Force Injury Packs are available via In-App Purchase from $4.99.

Digital Patient Management and Tracking System for Physical Therapists
Introduction to the Industrial sector and prevalent Challenges:
Poor patient compliance is one of the major factors contributing toward unsatisfactory patient outcomes. In order to boost patient outcomes and compliance tracking, several healthcare-IT firms are engaged in developing Web-based solutions for physical therapists. In the US physical therapy industry, both patients and physical therapists are on a constant lookout for all-in-one Web platforms that support patient management, comprised of professional exercise videos and compliance monitoring tools, that can be customized to include integrated scheduling tasks. Digital health applications, which fundamentally improve the patient experience and patient outcomes, are increasingly of interest to the physical therapy industry professionals. Digital technology that includes video and social media tools are helping patients adhere to their physical therapy regimens. Mobile health applications are emerging to become ideal tools for patient management, monitoring, communication, and video exercise prescription needs. This rising growth and integration of mobile platforms within healthcare delivery is compounded by the fact that within the mobile content market, mobile healthcare information usage is identified to be the fastest growing segment with a growth percentage of 135% recorded in 2011 alone. One such company is New York-based FORCE Therapeutics. The company was founded in 2009 by a group of veteran physical therapists, world-class engineers, and video content producers who are uniquely positioned to understand physical therapy workflow and patient challenges, and develop innovative digital health applications. This firm is engaged in developing mobile application suite for achieving excellence in physical therapy solutions.
Introduction to the Developer of Technology/Product:
FORCE Therapeutics has an innovative cross-channel platform that extends the relationship between patient and physical therapist outside the office using digital technology. FORCE Therapeutics creates mobile and Web-enabled solutions for physical therapists and their patients to enable physical therapists to improve level of service and quality of care provided to patients through the company’s suite of mobile video solutions. The company’s first product is FORCE TherEx, a Web and mobile application for physical therapists. The product helps therapists prescribe and monitor their patient’s compliance and home exercise program schedules. Through the FORCE TherEx platform, patients have the ability to view exercise videos, track daily progress, purchase equipment, and communicate with their physical therapist via their mobile phones. Some of the notable features integrated into the FORCE TherEx platform to enable tracking of patient and staying connected in an online environment includes drag and drop functionality for exercise programs and protocols, automated sign-up procedures, customizable exercise videos, which stream to the mobile device, and an intra-office messaging center. In addition to FORCE TherEx mobile application, FORCE Therapeutics has also developed a FORCE Mobile platform that offers professional exercise solutions for muscular skeletal disorders, directly to the consumer. The FORCE Mobile app. is designed to recommend exercises based on sports, area and type of dysfunction, thereby creating a playlist of rehabilitation exercise videos, which directly stream to the user's mobile device.
Analyst Insights on Product Development:
Since both FORCE therapeutics’ products allow therapists to track patient compliance seamlessly and enables real-time clinical documentation changes to be made to the patient’s data, the applications spectrum and competitive pricing varies according to the individualized patient portal. The FORCE TherEx platform can be integrated seamlessly into an orthopedic or chiropractic practice as well as for primary care physicians examining injuries such as, lower back pain, sports medicine, and emergency care medicine. All of which benefit from using mobile video enhanced services and care. Clearly, FORCE Therapeutics' platforms takes physical therapy management into the next-generation by employing mobile solutions for on-the-go patients in a secure electronic setting and enables tracking of patient compliance using both home computer networks as well as mobile tools. Integration and adoption of such mobile physical therapy tools empowering patients and clinician' practice is expected to take another three to four years.

Increasing Physical Therapy Patient Compliance with Web-Based Applications
A Recent Usability Study of Apps for Rehabilitation at Michigan Technological University Using the FORCE TherEx Platform for Physical Therapists
Katrina M. Ellis, Chad Norman, & Alex Van der Merwe
Michigan Technological University, Houghton, MI
ABSTRACT: Our research investigated instructional materials given to patients of physical therapy, and methods for checking patient comprehension and compliance. We conducted environmental and task analyses by interviewing practicing physical therapists to map the problem space. Responses to surveys taken by patients of physical therapy and practicing physical therapists suggested that video instruction of exercises and video conference meetings between clinic visits would be beneficial to patient rehabilitation. Using a convenience sample of undergraduates, we investigated the influence of self-efficacy and format of instructional materials on willingness to comply, satisfaction with information, and anxiety related to completing rehabilitation. We found that video with text instructions were most satisfying to students.
METHODS: There were two phases to this experiment. The purpose of the first phase was to compile information from practicing physical therapists and patients of physical therapy on their perceptions of their experiences with physical therapy recommendations and compliance. The purpose of the second phase was to investigate the role of instructional medium on information satisfaction, and to see if medium is a mediator between exercise self-efficacy and willingness to comply.
RESULTS: Recommended length of rehabilitation varied from 3 to 5 weeks to over 12 weeks. The majority of physical therapists reported that 6 to 8 weeks was the typical length of rehabilitation (54%; 3 to 5 weeks, 23%; 9 to 12 weeks, 15%; and more than 12 weeks, 8%). The majority (77%) of PTs encouraged unsupervised exercises after the first visit. The amount of unsupervised exercises between visits varied between 1 to 2 and 5 to 6. The majority of PTs suggested that 1 to 2 unsupervised exercise sessions occurred between face to face visits (54%; 3 to 4, 38%; and 5 to 6, 8%). 100% of PTs suggested that demonstration was the best way to instruct patients on exercises to be performed unsupervised at home. 92% of PTs have not previously used videos for instruction of unsupervised exercises and almost half do not check for compliance. The majority (12/13) would consider a different method for checking compliance. PTs also believed that video instructions should improve patient confidence in their ability to perform the unsupervised exercises and that videos transfer proper exercise technique.
UNDERGRADUATE SURVEY: A few interesting trends which should be noted. Movie & text instructions received the highest rating in satisfaction—this group also had high ratings of compliance and low ratings of anxiety. This further supports the addition of video instruction in physical therapy prescriptions.
DISCUSSION: After our preliminary interviews with practicing physical therapists, it was clear that there needed to be some change in the instructional materials given to patients of physical therapy of unsupervised exercise prescriptions and a change in the procedures for tracking patient compliance. We surveyed current practicing physical therapists, patients of physical therapy, and a convenience sample of undergraduate students to gather perceptions of physical therapy practices, instructional materials, and compliance-tracking.
We did find that instructional medium influenced satisfaction with the information. This result suggested that video & text instructional materials were rated higher than other mediums or combinations of mediums.
CONCLUSIONS: This research investigated the influence of video instruction and video conference feedback on willingness to comply. We found that video instruction was rated higher than text or picture instruction, but power was not sufficient to find additional significant results. Survey of PTs and patients of PTs perceptions suggested that video instruction and video conferences between clinic visits would be beneficial to patient confidence, compliance and rehabilitation.

Google Updates Android’s Google Now App: Featuring a Fitness Tracker
It turns out Google may be reentering the world of mobile health. Earlier this month, when Google updated one of its premiere Android applications ‘Google Now’, it added a personal activity tracker. Google didn’t draw attention to this new feature, failing to mention its presence in their official blog post announcing the update at the beginning of December.
Google previously launched Google Health, a personal health record, in 2008 but decided to discontinue the app when it failed to scale beyond a relatively small group of dedicated patient users, and also because new CEO Larry Page wanted to re-focus the company (1). Now that mobile health has become more prevalent,
247 million people downloaded a health app in 2012 compared to 124 million in 2011 (2), Google has undoubtedly decided to partake in the growing trend.
Google announced in their blog post that the update of Google Now will let you check the weather, access boarding passes, find activities to do and more. The fitness tracker feature added to Google now delivers a monthly activity report of time spent walking or cycling, measured passively by the phone itself, and displays it alongside the previous month’s data for comparison (1). Could this feature compete with existing fitness-tracking apps already on the market?
A spokesperson from Fitbit tells Mashable that newcomers to the fitness-tracking market, like Google Now, will only serve to legitimize the space further (3). As the market continues to expand, with more apps being developed that cater to specific health and fitness needs, we can only hope more people will realize their benefits and implement them in their lives.

The Patient is the Most Important Member of the Care Team
An article published on Forbes.com titled “Health Systems Ignore Patients at Their Own Peril” focuses on something every citizen should be concerned with, regardless if they are the ones providing healthcare or receiving it. Our healthcare system is shifting from a fee-for-service model to a value and outcome healthcare reimbursement model. For healthcare professionals, this means the focus should be shifted from a “do more, bill more” mindset to a quality/value/outcomes mindset.
The author, Dave Chase, is the CEO of Avado and he states he has reviewed and implemented over 100 healthIT systems. He has found that the primary job of legacy healthIT systems is to get as big a bill out as quickly as possible. The more tests healthcare professionals give or treatment they provide, the bigger their reimbursement. “The much-criticized fee-for-service model that incentives activity over outcomes has driven that outcome. In fact, it would have been irrational for healthcare providers to demand systems that did otherwise” (1).
The current model focuses on the activity of the healthcare professional, giving them complete control. They prescribe tests, medicine, perform procedures and essentially ignore the role of the patient. As the article states, the healthcare system is appropriately in control of the decisions that drive the outcome when a patient is in the hospital. However, the situation is different when someone is managing a chronic condition, which represents roughly three-quarters of all healthcare spending (1). The control is then in the hands of the individual. This means taking their medication, complying with recommended home treatment such as rehabilitation and diet changes.
In order to improve outcomes, patients need to hold themselves accountable for their own care. This means taking the right preventative measures to reduce their chances of needing professional treatment. This also means they need to be compliant with their home care after receiving treatment from a healthcare professional. Healthtech startups can provide the tools for patients to make this at-home care more manageable:
The highest performing health systems perform very well when there is the medical equivalent of a big fire. However, it is individuals who are the key player in keeping small fires from growing bigger and fire prevention. Just speaking to the technology side of the equation, health systems have invested massive sums of money to fight the big “fires” that take place in hospitals. The opportunity for healthtech startups today is to develop the equivalent of fire extinguishers, CO2 alarms, keeping fires from reigniting, fire inspections, and better communication systems that snuff out small “fires” or prevent them entirely. (1)
Patients now have access to health information at the tip of their fingers twenty-four-seven due to innovations in technology. With advances in technology also comes increased responsibility and accountability for patients who now have these tools to aid them in tracking and managing their health. Both healthcare professionals and patients can improve outcomes by implementing these tools in their care, especially with this shift to an outcome/value reimbursement model as an incentive.

Are Mobile Devices Effectively Increasing Our Physical Activity?
We know using our mobile devices can make fitness fun but can they also change our behavior by effectively increasing our physical activity? According to an article in the Journal of Medical Internet Research, the answer is yes.
Researchers in the Department of Kinesiology and Community Health at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign conducted a study they claim is the “first to synthesize current research focused on the use of mobile devices for increasing physical activity” (1).
The meta-analysis included studies that involved more than 1,350 subjects. Of those studies, eight used text messages to offer fitness motivation, four relied on smartphone apps, and two used self-reports on PDAs. According to the authors, their meta-analysis supports interventions using mobile technology to increase physical activity behavior.
One of the studies the meta-analysis included was a study conducted by King et al that studied the effect of hand-held computer technology for increasing physical activity. Participants (healthy, initially underactive adults aged 50 years and older) received an instructional session and a PDA programmed to monitor their physical activity levels twice per day. The software would provide daily and weekly individualized feedback, goal setting, and support. The control group received standard, age-appropriate written physical activity educational materials.
The study found that over eight weeks, those who monitored their physical activity and received individualized feedback through the software on their PDAs reported a mean increase in moderate to vigorous physical activity of 177.7 minutes per week, as compared with a mean decrease of 80 minutes in the group given standard written physical activity educational materials (2).
The results indicate that hand-held computers (smartphones) may be effective tools for increasing initial physical activity levels among underactive adults. This study was conducted in 2007 and serves as just a preview of the influence these devices would be capable of in the health and fitness industry.
The release of Apple’s App Store wasn’t until July 2008, which made the word “app” mainstream to smartphone users. Today, there are over 13,600 health and fitness apps in Apple’s AppStore (3). While you should research an app before you buy it (see our previous article here), many of these apps influence behavioral changes in their users, promoting healthier lifestyles.
Behavioral changes can include healthier food choices, consistent exercise regimes, and tracking of vital health information. Mobile devices are being used as a hub for peoples’ health and fitness information: food diaries, weight trackers, training tools, exercise videos, and more. These devices provide features and apps that act as motivators.
The authors of the meta-analysis found that the inclusion of advanced sensors, such as integrated accelerometer and GPS devices, hold promise for more accurate assessment of physical activity in real time. These sensors track speed, pace, distance, location, and can spur the users of these devices to push that one more mile, beat their last timed run, or try new routes.
In fact, there are apps (such as MapMyRun) that can tell you running or hiking routes near your location. If you’re travelling for the weekend, don’t know the area or just want to find a new route where you live, you can simply go to an app to find popular running or hiking routes. These apps also allow you to create new routes and share them with others.
This ability to share has become extremely popular in the health and fitness industry with mobile devices making it easy to do so. Many fitness apps include a “share” button where users can post their completed exercises to Twitter or Facebook, showing their followers how many miles they ran, how fast they ran or a new goal they reached. This ability to set goals and share results motivates users to do more, catering to that competitive streak in all of us.
It’s clear these devices are impacting how people are managing their health and with studies like these we are able to see just how much of a positive influence they have. The meta-analysis concluded by stating “Our focus must be on the best possible use of these tools to measure and understand behavior (1).” While previous studies conducted have pointed to mostly positive effects, more studies should focus explicitly on the functions of active technologies, such as interactive education and self-monitoring. By effectively using these devices to measure and monitor our health and fitness information, we not only have the potential to increase our physical activity but to improve our overall health.

Adoption of Health Apps
For those of us who have used mobile health and fitness apps, we know just how beneficial they can be. I personally rely on my Nike Training Club app and MyFitnessPal app to aid in my workouts and serve as my nutrition diary. As with most things, it took some getting used to. Nike Training Club lets you choose exercise routines based on preference of results (for example, toned versus lean). For an avid gym-goer, this app helps me mix up my routine and makes working out more exciting. At first, it was difficult to get used to doing my exercises with my mobile phone as my trainer but as I become familiar with the app and use it regularly, I can’t imagine my workouts without it.
MyFitnessPal allows you to enter your food choices, cardio work and strength training so you are able to determine how many calories you are taking in and how many you are expending through exercise. It can be hard to remember to input this information, but MyFitnessPal is an app and a website that allows you to input the information quickly and easily, so this issue was easily overcome. This app motivated me to eat healthier and make better decisions regarding portion sizes and nutrition.
While fitness and diet apps are the most popular of mobile health app downloads, there are hundreds of apps that cater to people with diabetes, arthritis, low back pain, high blood pressure, along with countless other diagnoses. These apps provide people with important health information, exercises to alleviate pain, and the ability to input information (similar to MyFitnessPal) where they are able to record personal health data so they can report the information accurately to their doctors or become aware of a concerning change.
Since 2010, about 10 percent of American adults with mobile phones have had some kind of app on their phone that helps them track or manage their health, according to a PEW survey (1). Of these respondents, thirty-eight percent used apps to track exercise, fitness, or heart rate. This means a large portion of the population that would benefit from health apps are not utilizing them. Smartphone users have about twice the adoption rate for health apps when compared to the general population, so it’s reasonable to assume that as smartphone adoption increases so would health app adoption. Unfortunately, that hasn’t been the case.
“There has been a significant proliferation in the number of health apps available, but seemingly no increase in adoption (2).” In an article titled, “Three years of stagnant health app adoption,” MobiHealthNews talks with Susannah Fox, who conducted the Pew survey, about what she thinks might drive adoption forward.
“The trends that I am watching — I don’t make predictions — but [there are three] trends that I am watching. [The first is] smartphone adoption. If smartphone adoption continues increasing and we see continued engagement with smartphones users getting health apps, then looking for increased health app adoption among smartphone users seems to make sense.” (2)
Fox lists media portrayal of apps as the second trend she is watching. We don’t see advertisements for health apps. Usually we hear about them from friends or family or unintentionally stumble across them in the app store. Fox says she perceives there has been an increase in mainstream media coverage of health apps. If they continue to be covered in articles and news segments, their popularity might surge as people become aware of them.
“The third aspect of this that I am watching for is clinical integration,” Fox said. “That is when your doctor prescribes an app. That is going to have a different effect on your interest in trying it, over you just downloading it, or it coming pre-installed on your phone. Those are the trends I’m watching — again, they are not predictions, just some of the trends I am keeping an eye on.” (2).
Being recommended apps by our doctors will undoubtedly encourage us to download and utilize these health apps. Whether the recommendation of an app by a doctor will introduce people to health apps they never knew existed or provide people with an incentive to use one (for example, accountability to their doctor), we can only hope people will begin to realize their benefits. As smartphone adoption, media coverage, and clinical integration flourish, I’ll now be keeping an eye on these trends and their effect on health app adoption.

From PPS 2012 in Las Vegas
Private Practice Section 2012 at Wynn Las Vegas last week included information sessions where the theme seemed to be implementing new technologies and techniques to add value to your practice. Session topics ranged from the culture of your practice to marketing to moving your practice into the Cloud. All sessions focused on ways to influence outcomes.
Even the PPS Issue of Impact Magazine centered on articles such as “Your Marketing Strategy”, “Increasing the Value of Your Practice”, and “Cloud computing”. The cover featured “Improve Patient Adherence for Better Outcomes”, an article that urges therapists to consider opportunities to increase patient home exercise compliance and stay connected to patients thereby enhancing the patient experience and improving treatment outcomes.
The focus on increasing the value of your practice and improving patient outcomes was evident as you walked through the exhibit hall. We were excited to see an influx of new companies offering home exercise program solutions and we hope that PTs recognize the value these tools create for their practices. We spoke to a lot of physical therapists that seem eager and excited to find ways to save time and money (how can you not be excited about that?).
We also saw some neat products exhibited in the hall such as the CranioCradle, a natural health care product that gently relieves stress, tension and pain. Laser Gym was another one of our favorites. They develop and produce a range of therapeutic and conditioning devices that utilize laser technology to improve the users everyday body functionality and quality of life. We saw a lot of people stopping by their booth trying out their products and loving them!
Our booth was located next to Core-Tex, “the only device on the market that creates a truly 3 dimensional surface for functional movement”. It was great seeing people of all ages use this device. The AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill was another eye-catching product, providing a “more speedy and less painful” recovery. We had a great time trying out these products and meeting the representatives from these companies. There was definitely a great group of vendors this year excited about providing ways to improve physical therapy care.
What were your favorite booths at PPS? What are you hoping to see next year? Be sure to let us know in the comments section below or send us a tweet @FORCETherEx!
