Participate in Back-UP’s Vignette Study!
Roessingh Research and Development is conducting a study in the framework of the Back-UP project, to investigate which biological, physical, economic and psychosocial factors play the most important role in decision-making for neck and low back pain.
If you are a healthcare professional in pain rehabilitation, you are welcome to help us find what are the most important decision factors in your domain.
In order to participate, you only have to go to http://www.vignetstudy.nl/ , where you will be presented with a set of patient cases, and some questions to be answered through a simple questionnaire with multiple choices. The assessment of all cases takes approximately 20 minutes.
Help us improve the quality of health care in neck and low back pain!
Back-UP project reaches two years
The Consortium meeting of the Back-UP project to celebrate its second year took place at Empirica GmbH’s facilities in Bonn, on November 27th and 28th 2019.
The first studies made with the mockups and prototypes of the Back-UP platform (usability study, and design of the retrospective study) where shared with the project partners. Technical partners explained in a demo session how the platforms based on Antari HomeCare and Multi-X are connected to improve the user experience, and plans were made for the dissemination strategy and the involvement of industry stakeholders in the forthcoming final year of the Project.
Next Consortium meeting will be in UK in June 2020, in order to prepare the final actions of the project.
