The ELAROS NHS digital system for patient/clinician digital sharing questionnaire data, includes Yorkshire Rehab. Scale

https://www.elaros.com/

ELAROS is a private company that works with the NHS to provide digital apps and websites, including patient apps where they can fill in PROMs, and access to these by clinicians.

The initial aim, I think is for it to be used particularly for Long Covid clinics to track their patients in their rehab clinics.

There is a questionnaire that seems to be at the heart of this called
The Covid-19 Yorkshire Rehabilitation Scale

I have had a look at it, and it seems fairly sensible and easy to fill in, with sections on symptoms, function and general health. Patients can fill it in on the app.

Edit: See next post for research on the scale.
The problems are the same as for all questionnaires - mainly when a set of quite sensible questions is turned into numerical data that can be very misleading, especially if used to justify rehabilitation as effective.

 

We have two threads on the C19 Yorkshire Rehabilitation Scale:
