    CW+ is a charity that invests in financially sustainable innovations, facilities and technologies, to improve clinical outcomes for patients at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and beyond. This includes several health apps per year.

    CW+ commissioned IE to build an app to help patients recuperating from a hand trauma or surgery. The app allows clinicians to prescribe a bespoke programme of exercises for each patient – from a library of over 90 video demonstrations – to aid recovery from their specific hand injuries. Clinicians can bookmark relevant content using an intuitive favourites system, and schedule push notifications to help remind patients when it's time to repeat their exercises. 

    Although the project is primarily aimed at supporting staff and patients at Chelsea and Westminster, CW+ intends to keep it open to help other areas of the health service. It's also based on reusable components to provide a framework for building future apps more efficiently. 

    Read more about the CW+ Hand Therapy app. 

    We are truly delighted with the app. As a clinician it has been brilliant to be able to use this in situ with patients as it's quick and easy to download and prescribe exercises. It making a real difference to the patient and therapist experience. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to this project.
