We have formed a partnership with pioneering digital health company Living With to support patients in Norfolk and Suffolk through a range of digital rehabilitation solutions.

Over the next five years, ECCH plans to transform its digital provision, offering patients more information and support through apps and online tools.

The first of these solutions will be in musculoskeletal (MSK) care and underscores both organisations' commitment to delivering innovative solutions for patients and physiotherapists alike.

With MSK conditions accounting for the third-largest area of NHS spend - about £5 billion each year - there is an urgent need for accessible, effective, and personalised interventions. This new product will integrate Living With's cutting-edge technology platform with East Coast Community Health's extensive clinical expertise to deliver a comprehensive solution for managing MSK conditions. By leveraging data-driven insights and advanced analytics, physiotherapists will gain unparalleled visibility into patient progress, enabling them to customise treatment plans and optimise outcomes effectively.

Steve Berry, Commercial Director of East Coast Community Health, said: "We are thrilled to partner with Living With to drive innovation in rehabilitation and physiotherapy. Together, we are committed to advancing every part of our care by equipping our clinicians and physiotherapists with state-of-the-art tools and resources to deliver exceptional outcomes for patients."

Chris Robson, CEO of Living With, said: "We are excited to collaborate with East Coast Community Health to continue the work we are doing in digitally transforming rehabilitation, extending now into MSK care. Through this partnership, Living With and East Coast Community Health aim to address outstanding challenges in MSK digital management, including accessibility, adherence, and patient engagement.”
