The iterative process of developing the 'JOLO' application for monitoring daily physical activity and joint load in patients with hip or knee osteoarthritis pre- and/or postoperative

Abstract

The amount of physical activity (PA) and joint load plays a role in the progression and rehabilitation of hip/knee osteoarthritis. In order to guide these patients towards an optimal physical active lifestyle, the ‘JOLO’ application is being developed. This application aims to measure daily PA and joint loading pre and/or postoperatively. This application is framed within a Blended Care setting by combining E-health with face-to-face consultations with a health care practitioner.
