What this trial studies
Adults scheduled for elective total hip or total knee replacement are enrolled and trained in clinic on how to use the My Connect Post-Op app prior to surgery. After discharge, participants are prompted daily by the app and encouraged to interact with its AI-driven Technology-Assisted Conversation (TAC) for 30 days while all interactions are logged. The study is observational: data from active app users will be collected and compared 1:1 with retrospective chart-review controls from the same site, and the first 10 active users undergo an initial technical assessment. Outcome data include how the app guides recovery, detection of potential complications, and the appropriateness of recommendations generated by structured question pairs.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Adults aged 22–80 scheduled for elective single or double total hip or knee replacement who own a smartphone, read and speak English, and can give informed consent are ideal candidates.
Not a fit: Patients without smartphones, non-English speakers, those with psychiatric disorders or opioid dependence, or who cannot or will not engage with the app are unlikely to benefit.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the app could help patients get timely guidance at home, identify complications earlier, and reduce unnecessary clinic visits.
How similar studies have performed: Prior work with smartphone-based post-operative monitoring and telehealth has shown promise for wound surveillance and reducing readmissions, but AI conversational systems of this type have more limited, early evidence.
