A free tool for the time between visits.
You prescribed the program. SDR keeps it running on whatever screen is at hand until the next appointment. A patient sent you this link so you can see how it fits alongside the work you are already doing.
Why your patients benefit
The exercises in most recovery programs are sound. The gap is between visits. When there is no one in the room to prompt the next movement, recovery momentum depends entirely on the patient remembering, finding the sheet, and feeling motivated to start.
SDR replaces that gap with a steady visual prompt. Build a program once: which exercises, in what order, how often. SDR cycles through them on screen, at the cadence you set, all day. Consistent reps between appointments are what patients get from it. Nothing more is claimed.
The display runs in any browser on any device. A TV, a tablet, a laptop: whatever screen is closest. There is no app for the patient to navigate and no account for them to manage. The prompt appears. They do the exercise. The next prompt follows.
How it fits into your practice
Building a program takes about five minutes in the free web app. Choose exercises from the catalogue or add your own labels. Set the rotation interval and save. SDR creates separate private editor and read-only display links.
Open the display link on any screen at home. No software installation or user account is required. Keep the editor link with the people who are allowed to change the program. If you update the program later, the display picks up the change automatically the next time it refreshes.
You are not being asked to support the device or troubleshoot patient hardware. SDR is a prompter, not a clinical record system. Programs in the web app are stored on the SDR server and protected by unguessable capabilities; the Pi appliance keeps its program locally.
What it costs
Free for everyone, including the professionals who recommend it. The web app runs in any browser at no cost. No per-seat licensing. No "professional plan" to sign up to. No data-sharing agreement required.
Optional hardware is available for patients who want SDR running on a television: an HDMI dongle that plugs into any TV and shows the activity cards without an internet connection. The web app covers every use case it does, so the dongle is genuinely optional.
Try it or share it
- Build a program in the web app: free, in any browser, no account required.
- Read the patient story: where SDR came from and who it is for.
SDR has no clinical evidence base, and we haven't sought to develop one. It is, however, a practical tool: a visual cue on screen that may be more useful than a patient's memory.
