About this app

BE-FIT is a revolutionary mobile app that supports patient recovery after surgery or hospitalization. It is the first app created with exercises that can be done in hospital right at bedside. It gives all patients access to physical therapy and rehabilitation.

Whether you’ve just been admitted to hospital or are recovering from surgery, BE-FIT is an evidence-based and medically supported exercise program that helps you mobilize safely, improve your recovery, and prevent common hospital complications. It was developed by a team of physical therapists, occupational therapists, exercise specialists, nurses, physicians, surgeons and real patients.

Key Features:

- Three Exercise Levels: BE-FIT features 3 exercise levels: Level 1: Bed; Level 2: Chair; and Level 3: Standing, which are designed to match your level of mobility. Each level consists of easy-to-follow videos with instructions, making it simple to progress through your recovery safely and effectively. Start at Level 1 and work your way up as you gain strength and mobility.

- Personalized Recovery Path: By answering a few quick questions, BE-FIT customizes exercises to match your health status and recovery stage. You’re also encouraged to consult your healthcare team as you advance through levels to ensure safety and suitability.
