The focus of this report is on identifying emerging (innovative, in-development) medical and digital health and care technologies, including medical devices, with the potential to reduce the occurrence of musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions, improve health outcomes and provide efficiencies within delivery of health and care services for people with poor MSK conditions. It is anticipated that the research findings will be used to highlight early-stage technological innovations to prevent and manage MSK conditions and identify areas of unmet need.

Emerging Technologies for Improving Musculoskeletal Health: An Evidence Gap Map
An evidence and gap map visualising evidence, and gaps in evidence, of emerging medical and digital health and care technologies and with the potential to reduce the occurrence of musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions, improve health outcomes and provide efficiencies within delivery of health and care services for people with poor MSK condition.
