Digital MSK triage explained
5 min read
Digital MSK triage is the use of clinically-led digital assessment to route someone with musculoskeletal pain to the right support quickly — either supported self-management or review by a clinician — instead of everyone joining the same long queue.
How does digital MSK triage work?
- Assess — the person completes a clinically-led assessment of their symptoms and movement, from their phone.
- Route — the system directs them to supported self-management or flags them for clinician review, consistently.
- Support — they start the right programme immediately, with progress visible to clinicians.
What are the benefits?
Triage that happens early and consistently reduces the time people spend waiting, focuses scarce clinical capacity on the cases that need it, and gives occupational health and NHS teams structured, comparable information instead of variable self-report.
Why objective measurement beats a questionnaire
Most digital triage asks questions. That is useful, but it depends on how a person describes their problem. Adding motion capture means the assessment measures how someone actually moves — real joint-angle data — producing a more objective picture and catching things a questionnaire cannot.
ReVive combines clinically-led triage with AI motion capture, so routing decisions are informed by measured movement, not just a questionnaire. It is designed to align with NHS DSP Toolkit, DTAC and UK GDPR.

Does digital MSK triage replace a physiotherapist?
No. It supports and assists clinicians by handling early assessment and self-management, so clinical time is focused on the people who most need it. Clinical decisions stay with clinicians.
