Elkhart-based Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center of Northern Indiana has made the Hurt! orthopedic mobile app free to everyone in Michiana, a region that encompasses Northern Indiana and Southwestern Michigan, according to an Oct. 15 report from CBS affiliate WSBT.
The Hurt! app offers patients guidance and support with no paywalls or subscriptions. It is designed to help patients seeking timely orthopedic advice to determine whether they should visit an urgent care, emergency room or schedule an in-person clinic appointment.
Experts on the app, including nurses, therapists and surgeons are on standby every day and will respond within 90 seconds, the report said.
The app offers photo, chat and video chat capabilities and is available as a mobile app and a web/desktop platform.
