Digital health tech for back pain recommended for NHS use

Seven digital health technologies that could help millions of people with lower back pain have been recommended for NHS in draft guidance published by cost-effectiveness overseer NICE.

An advisory committee to the agency has said that the web and mobile apps should be offered to people aged 16 or over with low back pain that can’t be linked to a particular condition, in a bid to reduce inequalities in access to musculoskeletal services across England.
