Abstract
- MyArthritisRx.com (MARx) is an online digital platform with resources to effectively manage osteoarthritis and directs patients to the appropriate information and tools to manage their disease. The key to self-management is a self-evaluation and staging program powered by an algorithm based on 150,000 arthritis patients. Outcome data (PROMs), comorbidities, demographics, and personalized characteristics are used to provide a personalized self-evaluation and staging assessment which characterizes disease severity and risk of progression. The initial 6-week program was completed by 100 pilot patients with 92% reporting some improvement. MARx offers evidence of efficacy with promise of cost savings and improved arthritis care.<br />Competing Interests: Disclosure This work was initially funded by PCORI. myarthritisrx.com, PCORI Tier III (3411628-003) award funding for Lifetime Initiative for the Management of Arthritis studies.<br /> (Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc.
