The selfBACK project is a healthcare programme centred round self-management and has the potential to save both time and monetary resources in the field of low back pain. The overall aim of the project is to improve the self-management of non-specific low back pain in order to prevent chronicity, recurrence and pain-related disability. To achieve this we are currently developing a decision support system – selfBACK – that will be used by the patients in the self-management of low back pain. The patient receives this information through a smartphone app, providing advice to reinforce their personalised self-management plan. FUNDING The selfBACK project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 689040.
