Brief summary
All patients receive the POP device app as part of standard of care practices for under going Total Hip Arthroplasty procedures, irrespective if they are enrolled in the study. This is is a pilot, observational, prospective study to assess patient satisfaction of a mobile phone application (App) as a means of delivering information on post-operative treatment program, rehabilitation and research tools for patients undergoing total hip or knee replacement. Follow up of Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) is essential to auditing practice and undertaking research in arthroplasty. Traditionally, PROM data is collected via paperwork. Similarly, patient education about post-operative regimens has been in the form of verbal discussions and multiple sheets of paper. The Patient Optimised Pathway application (POP-App) has been designed to reduce this paperwork burden. It is hoped this app will improve the surgical patient journey. 30 participants will be enrolled into a single arm of the study (no control group). Participants will be shown how to use the app and fill out the PROMs prior to operation. They will then be asked to fill out PROMs and Patient Satisfaction surveys pre-operatively and at Day 1, 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months post-operatively. Data collected will confirm acceptability of the app.
Interventions

The Patient Optimised Pathway (POP) App is a mobile phone application which delivers information on post-operative treatment program, rehabilitation and research tools for patients undergoing total hip or knee replacement. Patients fill out Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) surveys and Patient Satisfaction surveys delivered via the app at Baseline (1-4 weeks pre-surgery), Day 1 post-surgery, 2 weeks post-surgery, 6 weeks post-surgery, 3 months post-surgery and 6 months post-surgery. The duration of the app use is at the participants discretion.
