PhysiApp EasyLink
Welcome to PhysiApp EasyLink - an easy way to access exercise programmes, without an app or logging in. A great fit for patients who cannot (or do not want to) download an app, but still want to reap the benefits of their exercises in video-format.
- It’s a fast and easy way to access exercise programmes on desktop or mobile.
- EasyLink does not collect patient data, thus perfect as a “light” version of PhysiApp.
- Patients click on the link in the email they receive or scan the QR code on the printout and the exercise videos come to life!
Important: The security of Physitrack and the privacy of your patients are top priority for us. For this reason, it is currently not possible to assign your own added content (both exercises and educational material) to your patient via PhysiApp EasyLink. It is also not possible to change the title or description of exercises. Through PhysiApp EasyLink, you can only assign exercises and educational content from Physitrack in their original form.

When can patients benefit from EasyLink?
- With PhysiApp, patients watch exercise videos and replicate them. Not all patients, however, are able to use PhysiApp. Perhaps they have less affinity with technology or mobile apps. Until now, the best option for these patients was a paper printout of the exercise programme, except that the patient could then not watch back the exercise videos. Now there is EasyLink: a perfect solution with quick and easy access to the videos of the assigned exercise programme.
- If you (the practitioner) do not need adherence details, or you are not going to use Telehealth with this patient, EasyLink can make your patient's life easier. Now you help your patients even faster with nothing more than an email with a link (which the patient will receive automatically) or a printout with a QR code.
- Are there technical or financial barriers? With EasyLink, you give your patient the right care, regardless of their situation. The big advantage of EasyLink is that it is completely web-based. Whatever device your patient has, as long as they have an internet connection, they can access the exercise videos. And for patients with limited internet access, PhysiApp has the option of downloading the exercise videos into the app.
