Effect of an Information- and Self-management App for People With Knee Osteoarthritis (OA-AID)

17 mai 2026 mis à jour par: Anne Therese Tveter, Diakonhjemmet Hospital

The primary aim of the trial is to assess if an information- and self-management app provided in the period between referral and consultation in specialist healthcare can improve knowledge about osteoarthritis and decision quality during consultation in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

204 patients will be randomized to either being on the waiting list for consultation, accessing publically available information about osteoarthritis (control group) or getting access to an 8-week information- and self-management intervention delivered through the Genus app prior to consultation.

Pasients with answer questionnaires at baseline, 4 weeks (intervention group only), 8 weeks, post consultation and 1 and 2 years after consultation.

The Genus app contains information videos, exercise videos, quizzes, feedback and questionnaires provided in a progressive order over an 8 week period.
