Exercise Prescription Software
Exercise prescription software (pronunciation: /ˈɛksəˌsaɪz prɪˈskrɪpʃən ˈsɒftwɛər/) is a type of healthcare software that is designed to help healthcare professionals create, manage, and deliver exercise prescriptions to their patients.
Etymology
The term "exercise prescription software" is derived from the words "exercise", "prescription", and "software". "Exercise" (from Latin exercitus, past participle of exercere meaning 'to keep busy or to work') refers to physical activity that is planned, structured, and repetitive for the purpose of conditioning any part of the body. "Prescription" (from Latin praescriptio meaning 'to write before') refers to a healthcare professional's written instructions for the administration of medicine, therapy, or other care. "Software" (coined by mathematician and statistician John Tukey in 1958) refers to the programs and other operating information used by a computer.
Function
Exercise prescription software is used to create individualized exercise plans based on a patient's specific health needs and fitness goals. The software typically includes features for tracking patient progress, adjusting exercise plans as needed, and providing feedback to both the patient and healthcare provider. It may also include educational resources to help patients understand the importance of exercise and how to perform exercises correctly.
