Numérique et activités physiques en rhumatologie

Abstract

All areas of our lives are currently influenced by digitisation. A wide variety of connected tools and health-related websites are currently available. Activity trackers are an effective option for increasing physical activity in patients with chronic rheumatological diseases at risk of inactivity with excellent short-term adherence. Mobile health through smartphone applications is used to support medical practice and assist patients in their care. The applications are used both to evaluate patient practice and to encourage it. These digital devices have certain limitations, such as device adherence or the reliability of their content, which invites reasoned use.
