Objectives
To develop and examine an interactive, multi-functional mobile app-based technology designed to encourage endogenous health care using a 12-month randomized controlled trial to demonstrate whether knee osteoarthritis (KOA)-at-risk individuals and KOA-diagnosed patients can improve their knee pain, physical function, and other relevant outcomes by using the technology to support knee/KOA self-management.
