Welcome!

The MISSION-RA project is a programme of research with the aim of supporting people living with Rheumatoid Arthritis to lead physically active lifestyles. MISSION-RA is funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR).

What is MISSION-RA?

Research tells us that physical activity is good for people living with Rheumatoid Arthritis. However, physical activity can be a challenge due to symptoms like pain and fatigue.

The MovIng to Support Sustained Improvement of Outcomes iN Rhematoid Arthritis (MISSION-RA) project will develop a mobile health app for people living with Rheumatoid Arthritis, to help them to engage in physical activity.
