The BAPS App Wales app for iPhone and iPad

Longer Description: The Breast Axilla Postoperative Support app, otherwise known as the BAPS App has been designed by physiotherapists, a breast cancer surgeon and some breast cancer survivors. We have designed this app following constructive feedback from patients about the information on post-operative exercise that is currently available. We hope this app will help to standardise the information and advice. It will enable you to see how to do the exercises as well as read instructions, and give you an idea of how you are doing and progressing with the self-checks and rewards. It will remind you to do the exercises and should also trigger you to contact your key worker if things aren’t progressing so that we can help you access earlier intervention and prevent delays in any other treatments (for example, Radiotherapy) due to restricted movement. The app is here to help you, encourage self-management, decrease anxiety and hopefully give you a sense of achievement and improve your overall wellbeing.
