REVIEW
Great App
This app is great. I just was diagnosed with AS and this was a wealth of need-to-know information. Thanks to the team that put this together.
iAnkylosingSpondylitisPro is a paid app that greatly expands the patient education material, and also has very detailed clinician education material. iAnkylosingSpondylitisPro can be bought as a separate app.
The additional material within iAnkylosingSpondylitisPro includes
ANATOMY
-3D animations on the normal anatomy of the cervical and lumbar vertebrae, intervertebral discs, facet joints and the sacro-iliac joints
PATHOLOGY
-3D animations showing the progression of sacro-iliitis to fusion and syndesmophytes to ankylosis
CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS
-detailed information on history taking, physical examination, assessment tools (printable), differential diagnosis, laboratory studies, histology, with a medical imaging library of over 400 Xrays, CTs and MRIs showing the pathology of ankylosing spondylitis and its complications
CLINICAL TREATMENT
-50 additional exercise animations, 39 conservative spine care animations, patient and product information on commonly used medications, surgical information, case studies, prognosis and practice points
FURTHER INFO
-copies of ‘The Assessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society handbook’ and the NASS ‘Looking Ahead’ booklet.
FEATURES
Using verbal descriptions or still images alone for patient education is inefficient and often ineffective in conveying the evolution of complex pathology. These weaknesses are amplified when addressing an un-educated audience in a time-poor, resource-limited, demanding medico-legal environment.
Patient education in the 21st century needs to use the mobile digital technologies to provide optimum client, clinician, clinic and insurer benefits.
Clinician continuing education also requires updatable access to the latest pathology, diagnostic and treatment protocols.
iAnkylosingSpondylitisPro provides rapid, mobile, reproducible, updatable ankylosing spondylitis education.
