Medbridge GO for Patients

Medbridge

About this app

Medbridge GO gets you moving! Powered by award-winning content and technology, Medbridge GO is the premier app for you to complete exercises as prescribed by your therapist (PT, OT, AT, or SLP).

Two simple steps to get moving:
1. Enter the access code from your provider to download your program
2. Tap ‘GO’ to follow along with the exercise videos as they play on-screen

You can also set reminders, track overall progress, and view all of the Patient Education materials included by your therapist, from 3D models and explanatory exercise videos to clinician notes and PDF guides.

Ratings and reviews

The videos demonstrating the exercises are useful. However, the app is useless for actually tracking your progress. Very simple calculations such as the amount of time to do the exercises are completely broken. E.g. for an exercise where you are to do 10 reps with a 3-5 second hold each time, you might get 30 seconds to complete the set before it automatically starts the next exercise. I'm assuming the company outsourced the development, cranked out a cheap product and never tested it.

Good way to keep track of physical therapy exercises. My main complaint is that if you choose to "log a session" instead of playing the routine, switching apps or letting the phone go to sleep causes this app to lose track of that screen. I don't need every session to be guided, but I'd like to see what exercises I need to do without losing my place every few minutes.

Too many rough edges make this app a chore to use. First, the exercise timers are useless since they are keyed to the videos' timings. I get a 25 second timer for an exercise that needs 3 reps with a 30 second hold. This makes hands-off workouts impossible. Next, the rest time is too short, especially if you need to change or adjust equipment. Last, if you don't have Internet, your streaks are not counted, even if you do the exercises. I only use this because I have to for my PT
