Arthritis - Deep Dive

This podcast takes a deep dive into our Information Tool: Arthritis. Arthritis is a term used to describe a group of over 100 diseases characterized by acute or chronic inflammation of the joints, often accompanied by pain and structural damage. Osteoarthritis happens when the cartilage that lines your joints wears down and your bones rub against each other. Inflammatory arthritis differs from Osteoarthritis in that joint damage results from inflammation rather than the wearing away of cartilage. You can access the companion NICE Information Tool on our website at: https://www.nicenet.ca/articles/arthritis. The online Information Tool provides related links to videos, infographics, and a printable version. The National Initiative for Care of the Elderly (NICE) has developed a series of information tools derived from research studies that focus on understanding the challenges people face as they age. The research for these information tools is conducted manually, while their distribution utilizes AI-based technologies for generating audio and images.
