Die eCovery-Therapie bei Schmerzen im unteren Rücken ist eine digitale Gesundheitsanwendung für Patientinnen und Patienten ab 18 Jahren mit unteren Rückenschmerzen. Sie umfasst einen leitlinienkonformen Trainingsplan aus Muskel-, Bewegungs- und Entspannungsübungen sowie Wissensinhalte. Auf Grundlage einer initialen Anamnese (unter Beachtung des individuellen Schmerzbefundes, ggf. vorhandener körperlicher Einschränkungen, personalisierter Ansprache und Motivation) sowie einer kontinuierlichen Berücksichtigung der Rückmeldungen zu Schmerzwerten und Schweregraden von Übungen wird der Trainingsplan individuell und automatisiert an die Bedürfnisse der Patientinnen und Patienten angepasst.Der zugrundeliegende Behandlungsalgorithmus wurde anhand eines sog. Expertensystems basierend auf gesichertem Fachwissen zum geeigneten Ablauf einer Übung und zielführenden Trainingssets, Trainingsfrequenzen und Trainingsintensitäten von Ärztinnen, Ärzten, Physiotherapeutinnen und Physiotherapeuten konzipiert. Die zuvor beschriebenen Algorithmen werden nur im sog. ausgelernten Zustand in der DiGA genutzt. Sie ermöglichen im Hinblick auf von Behandelnden und Nutzenden festgelegten Zielen personalisierte Empfehlungen, die das Umfeld beeinflussen, mit dem die DiGA interagiert. Die personalisierte Anleitung der Nutzenden zu einer aktiven Therapieauswahl, -umsetzung und -anpassung ist eine der Hauptfunktionen der DiGA und ermöglicht neben einer Anamnese, ergänzenden Übungen, Wissenseinheiten und übersichtlichen Zusammenfassung das nachhaltige Erreichen der Therapieziele. Die Anwendungsdauer beträgt 84 Tage. Die App kann selbstständig oder begleitend zu einer vor Ort stattfindenden Therapie genutzt werden.

The eCovery therapy for lower back pain is a digital health application for patients aged 18 and older with lower back pain. It comprises a guideline-compliant training plan consisting of muscle, mobility, and relaxation exercises as well as educational content. Based on an initial medical history assessment (taking into account the individual pain findings, any existing physical limitations, personalized communication, and motivation) as well as continuous consideration of feedback on pain scores and difficulty levels of exercises, the training plan is individually and automatically adapted to the needs of the patients. The underlying treatment algorithm was designed by physicians and physiotherapists using a so-called expert system based on established specialist knowledge regarding the appropriate sequence of an exercise and effective training sets, training frequencies, and training intensities. The algorithms described above are only used in the DiGA in the so-called fully trained state. With regard to goals defined by healthcare providers and users, they enable personalized recommendations that influence the environment with which the DiGA interacts. The personalized guidance of users toward active therapy selection, implementation, and adjustment is one of the main functions of the DiGA and enables, in addition to a medical history assessment, supplementary exercises, educational units, and a clear summary, the sustainable achievement of therapy goals. The duration of use is 84 days. The app can be used independently or as a complement to an on-site therapy.
