This website has been created for people living with Rheumatoid Arthritis (or other forms of inflammatory arthritis) to assist with the day to day management of their condition. It includes sections for medication management, disease tracking, specialist appointments and also general health tracking (weight/blood pressure etc). It also generates a report that can be shared with their treating health care team to monitor their progress.
It was funded by Arthritis QLD as part of the Arthritis Queensland Registrar Bursary in 2014 by Dr. Ashleigh Hennessey and Dr. Jennifer Ng.
It incorporates the use of RAPID3 which is a patient reported outcome measure that has been validated in Rheumatoid Arthritis and is used with permission.
Using the figure you are able to input which joints are painful and how severe the pain is on a day to day basis.
Answering the 10 simple questions allows you to monitor your function and impact of arthritis from day to day.
This allows you to input your symptoms on a day to day basis and monitor you progress.
