Mobile Application Based Care for Total Knee Prosthesis Patients

"In the early phase of mobile application development, qualitative interviews will be conducted with patients with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) experience regarding their own surgery experiences. A training booklet for Knee prosthesis-M will be created, taking into account the literature and patient feedback. Then, the Knee prosthesis-M application design will be completed. One day before surgery; Written consent will be obtained from patients who meet the criteria via an Informed Consent Form. Patients in the intervention group will access the Knee Prosthesis-M application from their smartphones and will be asked to use it actively for 6 weeks, starting from the 1st day of the surgery. Mobile application-supported care will be provided to the patients by sending information, warning and reminder messages to the patients for 6 weeks."
