Type of information we collect from you
We ask you to provide your name and email address to set up your account with mySARAH exercise progamme. When you begin the programme, we collect information including your age, gender, profession, education, average hours spent on Internet and duration since diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. At the beginning and end of the programme, you will complete 10 simple questions on hand function. When you begin a new mySARAH session, you will record your pain level on a 0-10 scale. You will also be filling exercise plan forms and an online exercise calendar (optional), throughout the programme. At the end of the programme, you will provide general feedback about mySARAH and how you felt about your recovery from arthritis in your hands. All this information will be used to record the progress you make during the programme.
