Bones
Focus areas - The process of recovering from a fractured bone is not limited only to the period spent with the cast, but to the entire mobility and muscle strains recovery process. During the cast period the fractured limb loses huge amounts of muscle strain due to the inactivity of the area. One of the causes is that users start to exercise the limb only after removing the cast while they should be engaged in keeping the muscles around the fractured area active from the very first day with the cast.

Bones website - On the website new users can visualize the achievements of current and former patients with the same type of fracture. The reason for sharing this information works as a way to encourage new users to engage with their recovery process from the beginning of their treatment.
Bones website - The goal of Bones is to offer concrete information and a sense of achievement according to the level of exercise that users do during the cast period. Based on all the physical activity data of the patient, Bones simulates the time reduced from the users full mobility and muscle strain recovery treatment.
Bones website - According to the type of fracture Bones recommends which exercises are best to keep the muscles covered by the cast still active. This webpage with exercises works as a guide for the patient.
