MedBridge GO for Patients
What features does MedBridge GO offer to help me stick with my exercise routine?
MedBridge GO provides video demonstrations of each exercise from different angles, a pain scale slider for logging progress, and a calendar view that marks completed days with a checkmark. It also sends reminders to keep you on track, making it easier to follow your personalized plan even on busy days.
Can I message my physical therapist directly through the app?
Yes, the app includes a messaging feature that lets you send questions to your therapist. One user reported getting a reply the next morning after sending a question on a Thursday afternoon, which is often faster than calling the office.
Why does the app request access to analytics and performance data, and can I control this?
The app collects device info and usage data to improve performance, sharing some with service providers as detailed in its privacy policy. While you can manage standard iPhone permissions like notifications, the analytics collection is part of the app's operation and isn't adjustable within the app itself, which some users find excessive for a health app.
What happens if my physical therapist doesn’t use the MedBridge platform?
Unfortunately, MedBridge GO only works if your therapist or clinic is already using the MedBridge platform to create your exercise plan. Without that setup, you won’t be able to use the app at all, so it’s best to check with your provider before downloading.
How does MedBridge GO compare to other home exercise apps like Physitrack or HEP2Go?
Unlike general exercise apps, MedBridge GO is tightly integrated with your therapist’s plan, so you get a fully personalized routine with video demos and direct messaging to your provider. Competitors like Physitrack offer similar features but may have broader compatibility with different clinics, while HEP2Go focuses more on generic exercise libraries without the same level of therapist involvement.
