Towards Evidence-Based Self-Management for Spondyloarthritis Patients

Abstract

We developed a concept including a set of tools for self-management for patients suffering from axial spondy-loarthritis (SpA). This concept involves patient-recorded outcome measures, both subjective assessment and clinical measurements,that are used to present recommendations. We report from experiences made while implementing a proof of this concept.Besides giving the patient a self-management tool, our work also improved the methodology for clinical measurements.
