Poor patient compliance is one of the leading factors behind unsatisfactory patient outcomes. To help improve patient outcomes and compliance tracking, this week’s expert developed an online solution for physical therapists. Brownwyn Spira, PT is a practicing physical therapist and owner of FORCE Physical Therapy. She’s also the president of FORCE Therapeutics which provides digital health applications for the physical therapy industry.

The inspiration behind FORCE Therapeutics was Spira’s frustration with the way physical therapists deliver exercise instruction to patients. Instead of handing a paper with written instructions on ways to do a specific exercise, she turned to technology to provide patients with videos that provide clear visual and verbal instructions to patients. The collection of videos and patient management tools are combined together in a subscription based online application, FORCE TherEx. This intuitive online solution allows physical therapists to provide professional home exercise video programs to their patients from their own website. The videos are easily accessed online from any computer or mobile device.

After years of testing, FORCE TherEx is slated to launch on September 12, 2011. Physical therapists can give the program a try for free by signing up for their free 14-day trial. To learn more about the costs and benefits of FORCE TherEx, listen to the full podcast now.
