## getUBetter. Description
getUBetter provides local digital self-management support for all common musculoskeletal injuries and conditions such as back, neck, or knee pain as well as pelvic floor health. 

It is offered to patients free of change and provides content tailored by their local NHS clinical team. 



The app aims to support patients in building trust in the own recovery, gaining a better understanding of when and where to seek help if necessary, and developing the confidence to manage potential future episodes. 





The app is suitable for:

•	People aged over 16 or 18 depending on where you live
•	People who would benefit from self-management support 
•	In some areas of the NHS, you might be provided getUBetter to support pelvic floor dysfunction



The app is not suitable for:
•	People aged over 16 or 18 depending on where you live
•	People with severe, worsening symptoms where self-management is not advised by a clinician 
•	People with an injury or condition that requires regular physiotherapy or medical management e.g., after surgery or an Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) rupture 
•	People with worsening neurological symptoms (numbness, weakness, an unexplained new onset of bladder and bowel symptoms) 
•	People with a known diagnosis such as infection, rheumatological conditions, neurological problems, cancer, or fracture

## getUBetter. Reviews in United Kingdom

### *---- "Average"
So the first hurdle was creating a password. 8-17 characters but not 17! With password auto-creation that is available these days the developers and coders need to get with the program. Questions didn’t pertain to my specific symptoms. Kept referring to “injury” when there was none. Not finding it of any benefit. NHS should be utilising resources on improving current services not wasting them on questionable new ones.
-- Amber Viking, 2024-12-06

### ***** "Mrs Sarah Rossi"
What a fabulous tool to help guide recovery
-- Whitehaven Cumbria, 2024-11-11

### ***-- "Did not help"
I started with the app as recommended by a gp the exercises made my people
 Much worse and since it has been getting worse and worse. I mentioned it to a physician and they said oh well it’s not for everyone ! Which did not make me very happy.
Now I have answered a question wrong and am locked out of the app all because the way the question was worded was completely confusing.
Now deleted the app, I have no help from the surgery or anyone else.
-- Badaxeman, 2024-10-16

### *---- "Lack of critical simple pain location"
Not an App for me. In trying to use the ‘pain in foot’ choice I found the question ‘pain in outside of foot’ and no mention of the possibility of pain in outer side of foot. 
And the search possibilities were not helpful.
There seems to be no manual search possibility.
-- Hedpad, 2024-10-06

### *---- "Waste of time"
Won’t refer rather refers one to 111 which I could have done myself
-- Cfstbhjhf, 2024-10-05

### *---- "Should be called Get Someone Else better"
Went to my Drs and was diagnosed with Inflamed rotator cuffs and sent the link for this app, excitedly I entered the information necessary for my shoulder pain. 

I was then confronted with a load of shoulder exercises that are great for building strength in the deltoids and have precisely nothing to do with my issue. There appears to be no way of changing it either. 

I was under the impression that this app gets info from my drs and helps me, it appears to be a basic exercise app that would be great for someone that has shoulder weakness but that’s an entirely different issue from the one I need to fix.
-- Blakeamania, 2024-09-13

### ****- "Great positives of the work :  there is something Ivan do to get better and bc I  will"
Small steps ; keep it simple : be strong minded : it’s my body they  say “” do ten.”   I do eight until I feel like doing twelve !
-- Papermoomin, 2024-09-12

### *---- "Disappointed"
None of the videos are working. I’ve been trying for over a week now for both ankle and knee but nothing works
-- MrsComatosed, 2024-07-16

### *---- "Usless"
Mum was referred to use the app after 18 months of cancer left her with many problems. 
Her problem isn&#039;t listed on the app. 
Once a problem has been selected there isn&#039;t a back button. You have to restart the app and go back to the beginning. If this represents the future of medicine the country is f&amp;£@?
-- JonathanCRiley, 2024-07-11

### ***-- "Frozen again"
Apps is ok.  But it doesn’t like the latest update so won’t open.
-- ammelondon, 2024-07-02

### *---- "Hangs on second use"
Downloaded and installed, went through First as of exercises of designing up.
On second usage, having selected my condition it just hangs and shows the name of my local health authority.
Closed, deleted reinstalled, logged in still just hangs. I have very good connection, so this is not a problem with bandwidth.
Another problem when I used it for the first time, was that the videos were in landscape on a portrait layout, and could not be loaded full screen.
-- choonmonger, 2024-06-29

### *---- "No way to delete account in-app. NOT OK."
For an app like this you should not have to email customer services to delete your account. Not appropriate at all. App is useless for those with complex or chronic conditions. Far too simplistic approach to something as complex as healthcare. The app treats humans as individual body parts. Bonkers.
-- Brightsi, 2024-06-09

### ***** "Early days"
Early days but the “strings” seem easy to follow
-- MartVW8822, 2024-06-03

### ***** "Interesting I’m enjoying"
Thank you
-- promustafa, 2024-05-24

### *---- "Poor implementation"
A good idea but a very amateurish implementation.  Eg: it tells you to enter your injury in the search bar - but doesn’t actually provide a search bar!  No way of deleting a wrong selection. No way of exiting a screen other than aborting the app. It could have been so useful….
-- KW999, 2024-05-08

### ***** "helpful"
The really good app I’ve just use it to do some free exercise for my knee, thank you really grateful.
-- Ninajah, 2024-05-08

### ***-- "Nothing for Finger and Knuckle Pain"
My GP advised me to use this app to help with arthritis in my fingers and hands but  there’s nothing for these
-- Maximinimax, 2024-04-30

### *---- "Chronic pain folk, this ain’t it"
I was told to download this app from my local authority, possible as a response to a referral to a pain clinic.

Context: I have fibromyalgia, chronic pain and hyper mobility. This means a) I have pain in more than one area b) any PT recommendations need to allow for extra mobility in my very unstable joints.

My two major issues are as follows:

In the questionnaires I’ve seen so far there is no way to highlight ANY chronic or severe conditions (including MS, lupus, RA), so it feels ridiculous (how long have you had this pain, err in some cases 20+ years).

Furthermore you can only highlight one pain area at a time. So for example, hips OR shoulders but not both.

If this is supposed to be a substitute for a pain clinic appointment, it’s a poor one. (And not, I believe the point of the app, but I know a lot of health authorities are looking to cut costs on the number of pain clinic patients).  

Not great, Bob…
-- Ephemeragrrl, 2024-02-09

### ****- "Helpful App"
After a shoulder injury, I used the App to see what I could do to help myself while waiting for xray
-- Margotsmum, 2024-02-03

### ***** "Brilliant app"
getUBetter has helped me to feel supported through my recovery from my neck pain. It feels like I am being guided through by information I can trust. I like how the app changes based on how I am feeling. It has helped me to get to a place where if I have any msk problem that the app covers, I would always work through the app before contacting my GP. Thank you.
