GOOD STUFF TO KNOW

FREE ARTHRITIS INFORMATION AVAILABLE AT YOUR

FINGER TIPS

Two new Apple applications are now available to aid those with arthritis, a condition that is often misunderstood even through one out of six Canadians is affected by it.

ArthritisID is an Apple application that was developed by two Vancouver Arthritis Experts. The app is written in lay language, and includes a screening tool as well as prevention and treatment strategies. It also includes information about diet and exercise to maintain joint health.

The second application, ArthritisID PRO, is available for doctors and other health professionals. It has an interactive screening tool, best practice (evidence-based) guidelines for diagnosing and treating arthritis, and five instructional videos that show how to examine the joints properly.

The apps were developed by Dr. John Esdaile, a professor of medicine at the University of British Columbia and the University of Calgary. Esdaile noted that early detection is very important but with a shortage of rhumatologists, it is difficult to get a timely diagnosis.

Doctors who use the app qualify for continuing medical education credits since it has been accredited by the College of Family Physicians of Canada.
