Summary
This study tests whether a digital expert team can help people on long-term sick leave with muscle or common mental health issues return to work. Participants fill out a digital questionnaire and have a video meeting with their doctor and a team of specialists who then create a personalized plan. The trial compares this approach to usual care and measures how quickly people return to work within 12 months.
