Using Innovation and Technology to Support People with Musculoskeletal Conditions

Long term musculoskeletal conditions significantly impact quality of life, causing pain, reduced mobility, sleep problems, and social isolation. These conditions often prevent people from working, leading to poverty and worsening health outcomes. This opportunity seeks innovative technology solutions that help people with musculoskeletal conditions manage their conditions better, reduce pain and mobility limitations, improve sleep quality, and enable fuller participation in work and community life. Successful innovations should address the physical, social, and economic barriers these conditions create, ultimately improving health outcomes and reducing poverty-related risks for affected individuals.
