Introduction

With an ageing population comes an increased prevalence of osteoporosis and associated fracture. Whilst treatment of the condition following such a fracture is partially effective, primary prevention through screening and appropriate follow-up is the ideal. In order to assess a population's risk of fracture, paper questionnaires would traditionally have to be sent, however this is an wasteful and costly. A more efficient method may be to have patients assess their own FRAX score through a modified computer application.
