Low-Cost Tool for Compliance and Treatment-Tracking of Low Back Pain Patients

Overview

About this study

The purpose of the study is to develop, design and implement an easy-to-use, cloud-enabled software for patients with low back pain and evaluate the effect of the system on compliance and quality of life. We hypothesize that a device which measures compliance to physical therapy regimens in patients with low back pain will increase patient participation.
