Summary

This study tests whether an app called Genus, which provides videos, exercises, and quizzes, can help people with knee osteoarthritis learn more about their condition and feel more confident in treatment decisions. About 204 adults over 50 who are waiting for a specialist appointment will either use the app for 8 weeks or receive standard information. The goal is to see if the app improves knowledge and reduces uncertainty about treatment options.
