Overview
Brief Summary
In this feasibility trial, an 8-week digital intervention including remote monitoring in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) will be tested. The app will provide information on osteoarthritis and recommended treatment for people with knee OA.
Detailed Description
In this feasibility study various outcome measures will be assessed to determine whether the app (Genus) is viable, practical, and useful. The study will test the feasibility of an 8-week digital intervention including remote monitoring prior to consultation in specialist healthcare. The app consist of information on osteoarthritis and recommended treatment for people with knee OA. A total of 20 patients referred to Diakonhjemmet Hospital due to knee OA will be recruited to the study. The study will include assessments of technical, operational, clinical, and trial aspects of feasibility. Data will be collected through digital questionnaires (through the app or Nettskjema), through interviews and from medical records. Primary outcome is the feasibility of the app after 8 weeks. Additionally, the feasibility of the study process until consultation in specialist healthcare will be assessed. The aim of the app is to improve patients' health literacy and enhance the shared decision-making process between patient and healthcare provider at the consultation in specialist healthcare.
