NCT ID NCT07345299
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test if a digital education app helps patients prepare for hip or knee replacement surgery. About 160 adults scheduled for a first-time joint replacement will either use the app or receive standard preparation. The goal is to see if the app improves knowledge, confidence, and recovery, and reduces the need for extra support calls.
