Force Patient is prescribed to patients of Force-enabled healthcare organizations, allowing patients to watch videos, complete tasks on their daily To-Do Lists, and communicate with their Care Teams via messages. Data points from the patient are sent back to the Care Team, allowing them to understand patients' progress and take action when necessary. Force-enabled patients should have received a welcome email and can use the same login credentials that they use to access the web version of Force to log into this app. Force Patient is free for patients who have been prescribed Force at a Force-enabled organization. Requires a patient Force account. Force Patient utilizes Apple’s Health App to read your step data.

Total Hip Replacement 2 months Ago

I like this app. Before surgery I was able to message my care team about pain meds. Haven’t needed to do that again. Like other users I like that you can replay the videos on how to do the exercises. While I recently noticed that my exercise log doesn’t go to my doctor, it has kept me honest about actually doing the exercises. I think it’s quite clever how the exercises get more difficult every 2 weeks. I hate this but it’s almost certainly good for recovery. I share the exercises with my PT and she helps me with form. I have reviewed my “progress” and this has been positive. I really suffered the first 2 weeks after surgery, but the progress log shows I’ve consistently gotten better even on days I’m not so sure. Knocked off 1 star because the Home Screen does not send me to the actual exercise log but rather back to the videos. Easy to avoid this problem but would be better to fix it.

Only been using for a week, but think this is a great idea and very useful and keeps me accountable for daily exercises. Haven’t explored totally, but have cruised through and seen all the areas of the sight. I really like the GOALS - as this really makes me think precisely and more specifically in writing what I want to get out of surgery/process. NOT 5 stars for below reasons1. Would like to be able to add other exercises in log eg: kayaking, skiing, hiking, cycling etc. 1A. Also note I often might know the time spent, but not the exact mileage - so I estimate.2. PAIN gauge - this is to broad.. for instance during the day/night I may have little overall pain, then I will cross leg over or trip and extend or flex leg/knee to far and it suddenly intense pain for a Nono-second and goes away.. At night fine, but then wake up when I move around and knee flexes and rolls over something or hits a bone spur, mild irritation, but can be constant all night.. SO PAIN is variable for some and others might be constant…. How do you take this into account? “On average…” you might say?? Still that seems to vague.2A. Would like to have some kind of pain diary that is more specific then general - and one that could be usefully to my care team, if that is useful for them???? Maybe not?Q: why is the exercise log not seen by care team????Will continue to use and think of ways I would like to see the sight, but so far I think this is a brilliant idea and think how useful could be for not only myself but others in the future.

A great resource

This resource has provides a great deal of information with various educational communication tools where I believe there’s likely a fit for most if not all! There’s video along with script - love it! You can go back and review the material anytime you want. It doesn’t overload with too much information at once and additional material is assigned according to the anticipated date of surgery. Although I use the DHMC portal to communicate most everything, for joint replacement, it’s nice to have all in one place as well as the ability of to message. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is I have been insulin king ny steps. I’ve tried and looked it hi but no luck yet. I will further inquire and see if I can get assistance. I imagine more important will be steps post surgery to stay on top of rehab and movement.

Good but needs a little more

This is a good app for therapy from hip and knee replacement. There are a few additions I would do. Such as, add a space in the exercise log to make comments about the exercises you just did, not just rate them. Like if you are having a hard time with one exercise but the others are easier. Also there should be a rating between neural and hard. You should also be able to check off your progress goals and also rate your pain level more than once a day to see a pattern. Other than that, it’s good with asking questions and getting answers from your care team and the videos (both exercise and care instructions are helpful).
