thalTracker vs Knee Injury Navigator

thalTracker is designed for adults and adolescents with Thalassemia and iron overload. It has been designed by a group of patients and Thalassemia specialists in Canada to help patients to better self-manage their chronic blood disorder. The purpose of the App is to support the user in tracking levels of their iron overload and associated complications, identify trends, improve adherence to treatment, and facilitate communication of information to their healthcare provider during regular clinic visits. thalTracker reminds users to take their medication on time and of appointment dates, and encourages positive behaviors with respect to disease self-management. The user will record data into the App, such as values from blood tests and imaging results, including ferritin, cardiac and liver MRI iron results. An adherence function lets you set a chelation goal and then tracks how well you have achieved your target. We hope this will assist the user in becoming more adherent with chelation medication over time. The App should be used in consultation with your healthcare provider and does not replace the recommendations made by your healthcare team. Please note that absolutely no health or personal information is collected by the App developer and any data is stored only on your device. We place the highest regard to your privacy. You will be asked to provide some feedback on how useful the App is after 1 month and 6 months of use. This will help us make further improvements. The App has been endorsed by the Thalassemia Foundation of Canada and Cooley's Anemia Foundation.

The KneeIN app is a practice support tool for primary care providers (non-specialists) that facilitates appropriate care and referral of adult patients with acute knee injuries. KneeIN consists of a sequence of clinical triage questions that guide primary care providers to direct care and referral (specialist, allied health, diagnostic imaging) based on injury severity – identifying appropriate categories of care (e.g., emergent care, time-sensitive specialist care, time-sensitive skilled consultation, exercise and education, or self-management) rather than a specific diagnosis. KneeIN incorporates clinical exam videos, patient information, and exercise resources, as well as links to provider referral resources relevant to BC, Canada. KneeIN is not intended to replace clinical expertise and reasoning. KneeIN was developed by patients, surgeons, primary care physicians, physiotherapists and researchers at the University of British Columbia, Canada with funding from ShareCare BC.
