Smart knee replacement: data platform aims to cut risks
NCT ID NCT05302934
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study will enroll 600 people getting total knee replacements to test a data platform called Pheno4U. Participants will use a sensor and a smartphone app to track their recovery. The goal is to identify unknown risks or side effects and improve personalized care. The study does not test a new drug or implant, but rather a way to collect and analyze patient data.
