mHEALTH-INNOVATE (50) Mobile apps: RehApp (Rehabilitation App)(2)

29 April, 2022

Dear Michele,

The current Rehapp that is available from the Apple and Google stores and has been made a few years ago but we abandoned that development. For the past 2 years we have been working on the RehApp 2.0: a completely new smartphone app now with much more information about many more disabling conditions. As stated, there is also an interactive well-protected section on it where individual information (from assessment, goal setting, selection of interventions, monitoring progress) can be recorded and stored. We hope to launch RehApp 2.0 on the 17th of June in an international online event with a keynote from someone from the WHO. I will ask the moderator of this platform to publish in May/June an announcement about the event with more details on this platform as well. Feel free to write me for more details about process, challenges etc. I am also not young at all but have younger colleagues and a great App builder in Germany. I am happy to share with you the challenges we had to overcome. At times it has been a bumpy road but with a strong conviction that the RehApp 2.0 is much needed in low resource settings and support from a number of donors who believed in the product as well we are now pleased to soon launch this new app!
