This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether a smartphone app can help people with hip or knee arthritis feel better and stay more active in their daily lives compared to a website-based program or standard care. The app includes personalized exercises with video instructions, pain tracking, messaging with your physiotherapist, and daily reminders to help you stay on track.
Many people with hip and knee arthritis struggle to manage their symptoms and stay active. This trial wants to see if digital tools like apps can help patients recover better and more cost-effectively than traditional in-person care alone.

You will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: using the app, using a website, or receiving standard care. If assigned to the app group, you'll attend at least one in-person clinic visit and then use the app on your phone for exercises, tracking your pain weekly, messaging your physiotherapist, and receiving reminders. The study lasts up to three years, with check-ins at three months, one year, and three years to measure how much your function and quality of life have improved.
