What this trial studies
This feasibility trial evaluates an 8-week digital intervention using the Genus app for patients with knee osteoarthritis. The app provides information and recommended treatments while allowing for remote monitoring. A total of 20 patients referred to Diakonhjemmet Hospital will participate, with various outcome measures assessed to determine the app's viability and practicality. Data will be collected through digital questionnaires, interviews, and medical records to evaluate the feasibility of the app and the study process.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are men and women over 50 years old who have been referred to specialist healthcare for knee osteoarthritis management.
Not a fit: Patients who have received joint replacements, have uncontrolled serious comorbidities, or cognitive dysfunction will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this app could enhance health literacy and improve the decision-making process for patients with knee osteoarthritis.
How similar studies have performed: While the approach is innovative, similar studies have shown promise in using digital interventions for chronic conditions, indicating potential for success.
