This study observes patients who have had a total hip replacement, which is a surgery to replace a damaged hip joint with a new one. We use a study iPhone and two wrist monitors to collect data on how well patients are doing in their daily activities. About 25 people will join the study, starting with a 1-week screening and baseline period. After surgery, we'll check in for up to 6 weeks, mostly through remote monitoring, and finish with a clinic visit.
We will look at:
- Physical activity (like steps and walking speed),
- Vital signs (such as heart rate and blood pressure),
- Sleep patterns (including how long and well you sleep),
- Quality of life through surveys on how your health affects daily life.
Key Points:
- Study involves remote monitoring with few clinic visits.
- Participants must be 30 or older and willing to use a smartphone and wrist monitors.
- People with certain medical conditions or recent substance abuse issues cannot join.
