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.
