In “Impacts of Digital Care Programs for Musculoskeletal Conditions on Depression and Work Productivity: Longitudinal Cohort Study” [1], additional clarification has been added regarding the exercise prescription to enhance transparency and clarity of the intervention provided.

To complement the description in the original manuscript, Multimedia Appendix 5 has been added (included here as Multimedia Appendix 1) to provide an overview of the exercise interventions commonly delivered within the digital care program, including representative exercise categories, progression principles, and illustrative dosage parameters. Detailed descriptions of condition-specific implementations of digital care programs have been reported in previously published studies [2,3], cited in the Introduction section of the original article.

These additions do not affect the study design, analyses, or conclusions of the original publication.

Multimedia Appendix 1

Overview of the exercise component framework, with illustrative exercise categories, progression principles, and dosage characteristics.
