Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The purpose of this study is to assess a digital patient journey solution developed for patients undergoing elective hip and knee arthroplasty. The digital solution aims to support patient's preparation to and recovery from a hip and knee arthroplasty through provision of timely information and support related to preoperative preparation and postoperative rehabilitation. The information on the application is aligned with the patient's individual needs and requirements, and contains exercises to be completed daily for the duration of the program.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Digital Patient Journey Solution
Patients in the intervention arm are provided with a digital patient journey solution used on a mobile device. The application is intended to be used during the whole care path. The patient can familiarize him-/herself to the phases of care through visual timeline representation of the care path, get information on how to prepare for a surgery, receive reminders, fill in questionnaire forms, communicate with the care personnel via messaging functionality and video calls, and search information from frequently asked questions. The application contains information about the preparation, forms for anamnesis, anesthesia and treatment follow-up, information videos and pictures, and timely and individually-tailored reminders, e.g., on when to stop eating and drinking before the surgery. In addition, the application provides instructions on how to arrive to the treatment unit and comprehensive guidance for wound care and rehabilitation at home after the operation.

Conventional care group
Conventional care consists of specialist assessment in conjunction with pre-operative surgical visits and patient education. Patients in the conventional care group are provided with pre- and postoperative information face-to-face by paper-based method. Patients will be admitted and mobilised on the day of the surgery, and discharged one to three days after surgery. The follow-up visit, conducted by a physiotherapist, is conducted after 6 to 8 weeks post-discharge for patients with TKA and after 8 to 12 weeks for patients with THA.
