Study of My Connect Post-Op App to Support Recovery After Total Hip or Knee Replacement Surgery

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying the use of My Connect Post-Op Software as a communication tool to support recovery after total hip or knee replacement surgery. This open-label, multi-center observational study will evaluate how effectively the software guides patients through their recovery, identifies potential complications, and provides recommendations based on structured conversations. The study includes adult orthopedic patients undergoing elective joint replacement surgeries who meet eligibility requirements. Participants will be trained on using the My Connect Post-Op device before their surgery during an in-office visit. After discharge, they will engage with the software daily for 30 days, responding to prompts and questions about their recovery. The software collects data on pain, sleep, activity, medication use, and diet, using tools like the GRASP device and smartphone slider for pain reporting. A control group will be formed by reviewing records of past patients who underwent similar surgeries. The study also includes a provider dashboard for managing patients and conducting real-time chats. During the 30-day study period, researchers will collect detailed conversation logs and monitor how the software supports clinical decision-making. Patient and provider satisfaction will be assessed periodically. Data on the softwares chat responsiveness, clarity, and usability will also be gathered. The study aims to ensure the communication tool covers a wide range of clinical scenarios and supports patient recovery effectively.
