About

The purpose of this study is to assess the usefulness and results of orthopedic patients having access to a cell phone App called HealthLoop to utilize during the postoperative time period, compared to patients who have the usual postoperative management. The researchers want to investigate whether there any differences in outcomes and satisfaction in patients and providers.

Full description

The purpose of this study is to assess the usefulness and results of orthopedic patients having access to a cell phone App called HealthLoop to utilize during the postoperative time period, compared to patients who have the usual postoperative management. The researchers want to investigate whether there any differences in outcomes and satisfaction in patients and providers.

HealthLoop is a mobile-device application (cell phone App) that allows physicians to monitor for signs and symptoms of potential adverse events, and communicate with patients during the postoperative recovery process. The platform enables doctors to identify patients at risk of decline in the follow up period. Patients are engaged through mobile and web-based surveys, reminders, and information personalized to the patient's specific condition or treatment plan. Alerts are sent to physicians about patients who are at risk of treatment failures, complications, or hospital readmissions. Physicians are informed if patients are trending toward an adverse outcome based on the patient's responses.

Patients who choose to participate in this Research Study will be randomly assigned (like a flip of a coin) to one of two groups. Group A will receive standard, routine medical care. Group B will be asked to use the HealthLoop application on their mobile device during the post-operative period in addition to standard, routine medical care. Patients will not be able to choose which group they will be in.

294 participants in 2 patient groups

Group A
No Intervention group
Description:
Group A will receive standard, routine medical care. If you are randomized to standard, routine medical care you will need to communicate with your Doctor and clinical care team through conventional methods such as over the phone or through MyChart.
Group B
Experimental group
Description:
Group B will be asked to use the HealthLoop mobile application on their mobile device during the post-operative period in addition to standard, routine medical care. Patients randomized to use the Health Loop app will be able to communicate with their Doctor and clinical care team directly through the app. Patients will also participate in mobile and web-based surveys, receive reminders related to their healthcare, and receive information personalized to their treatment plan.
Treatment:
