How to create your own exercise: Step 2 - Adding content
Adding content to your newly created exercise
Please refer to the help article How to create your own exercise: Step 1 - Setting it up before following the steps below.
Once you have completed setting up the title, tags, and visibility of your exercise, you will be brought to this page:
Note: For the best patient experience, we recommend copying, pasting, and formatting your existing exercise documents into Embodia's text editor using the tools detailed below. We do not recommend simply uploading a PDF as these can show up very small, and potentially illegible, in the patient portal on mobile devices.
Types of content
Your exercise can be made up of any combination of text, images, and videos.
Text
Using the text editor, you can write exercise instructions or copy and paste them from an existing document.
Use the styling features, such as bolding text or adding bullet points, as you would in a word document:
Links
Add a link, such as to your website or reference by clicking on the 'Link' icon:
Images
Add images by clicking on the 'Image' icon. You can upload a jpeg, gif, or png file type. There is no size restriction.
Videos
Embedding a video
Embed a video from YouTube or Vimeo by clicking on the 'Video' icon:
Patients can play the embedded video directly in their Embodia patient portal, without being redirected outside of the platform.
Tip: This option is particularly useful if you have a large video that exceeds the video size limit (see below).
Uploading a video
Upload a video from your device by clicking on 'Browse' and selecting the video. Then click the Upload button:
Please note: each exercise video that you upload can be up to 400MB in size. Larger videos can be embedded (see above).
Saving your new exercise
Once you have uploaded your video, click 'Save Exercise':
You can come back and edit your exercise at any time.
If you want to remove the exercise altogether, click the 'Delete' button (under Edit Options).
Note: Once an exercise has been prescribed to a patient it can no longer be deleted.
