Our new interactive Whiteboard: Annotate handouts with ease

Want to make consultations more engaging, efficient, and tailored to each patient? The Whiteboard feature in Cetra Health is here to transform the way you communicate complex information. 

With the Whiteboard you can create annotations, personalised notes, and have the ability to highlight key areas directly on anatomy handouts. MSK professionals can create clear, custom anatomy visuals in real time. Perfect for physiotherapists, chiropractors, osteopaths, or MSK students, the Whiteboard takes your patient education and learning to the next level. 

Why was this new patient communication tool developed?  

The Whiteboard feature was developed straight from user feedback. Many of our users asked, “Can we draw or highlight directly on the illustrations?” We listened and set out to create a tool that makes explaining concepts to clients quicker, clearer, and tailored to each consultation. 

Our team designed an intuitive annotation tool that integrates across the entire handout library. The outcome is a practical, time-saving feature that enhances communication and fits seamlessly into everyday clinical practice. 

What is the Whiteboard feature on Cetra Health? 

Our new interactive Whiteboard is a user-friendly digital tool designed to make MSK consultations more engaging and informative. It lets you annotate educational handouts with ease, helping patients better understand diagnoses, treatment plans, and complex anatomy. 

With the Whiteboard, you can add personalised text, draw or highlight injuries and treatment areas, and emphasise key anatomical structures. This allows you to tailor each handout to the individual patient. 

Annotations can be saved for future reference, making follow-ups smoother and progress easier to track. Once complete, handouts can be shared instantly via text, email, WhatsApp, or a unique link, giving patients a reliable, accessible copy of their personalised consultation notes. Our development team then built a functional annotation tool that works seamlessly across our full handout library. The result? A time-saving, communication-boosting feature that’s designed for real clinical workflows. 

How does the interactive Whiteboard helps MSK professionals in consultations?

Client education works best when it’s visual and easy to understand. 

The Whiteboard lets you customise anatomy handouts during a consultation to match each patient’s condition and share that personalised version immediately. Whether you’re highlighting areas on a Neck Pain or explaining what Deep Vein Thrombosis is, your notes stay visible.

Why digital sharing works better for MSK patients 

Let's face it, paper gets lost. Patients often misplace printed advice sheets while juggling keys, their bag or their coat on the way home from your clinic. With Cetra’s Whiteboard, clients receive a digital copy of their personalised, annotated handout, making it easy for them to review the information anytime, anywhere.  

Cetra is a game-changer for students & new graduates  

The Whiteboard isn’t only for patient appointments; it’s also an effective learning aid. 

Students and recent MSK graduates can: 

• Add notes directly to anatomy illustrations for easier revision 

• Keep annotated versions for future study sessions 

• Practice explaining conditions and treatments with clarity 

• Strengthen confidence in communicating with clients 

Packed with a wide range of professionally created handouts, diagrams, and educational resources, Cetra helps support learning from the very start. 

Benefits of the interactive Whiteboard for MSK teams
