TrackActive Me vs Lu Dedoo

TrackActive Me is an application to self-treat and prevent common injuries and conditions. It has been developed by world-leading clinicians and technologists to help people access convenient and cost-effective care for spines, joints and muscles. The application is suitable for people with or without an injury or condition. For those seeking help for a painful condition, a chatbot asks you questions about your condition and then analyses your answers to provide the likely diagnosis of your problem. The assessments have been approved through a process undertaken by a leading London University. The app then provides video-based exercise programs and advice that has been designed from the best available scientific evidence. For every exercise prescribed in the app there is a link to information showing why that particular exercise is effective for treating a condition like yours. Furthermore, the analysis of the outcomes of 100,000 rehabilitation programs has been used to guide the decision on what exercises to include in treatment programs. If you are seeking programs to strengthen muscles or improve mobility, our assessment can personalise a program just for you. You can also add a variety of Pilates, yoga, stretching and mobility programs to your routine. All of the programs require minimal equipment so they are perfect for doing at home. Your exercise program progresses with your feedback. So if an exercise or program isn’t quite right for you, or it’s becoming too easy, the app will adjust the program to be more suitable. Log and track your strength and aerobic physical activity each week to help you reach your goals, and compare with World Health Organization guidelines. You can add reminders to keep on track, record your symptoms to check your progress and request appointments to see or speak to a real physiotherapist. You can also integrate with the Health app so you can monitor your daily steps within the app. If you sign-up directly through the application and wish to continue using the app we will ask you to sign up for a 7-day trial of a monthly or annual subscription. After that period ends you will be charged. You can cancel your subscription at any time. SUBSCRIPTION AND TERMS TrackActive Me offers monthly and yearly auto-renewing subscription options.
