Health-GIS Platform for Hip Replacement Rehabilitation Coordination

This study tests whether a mobile phone app with mapping technology can help patients find rehabilitation services faster after hip replacement surgery. After having their hip replaced, patients typically need several months of physical therapy to recover fully. However, many patients face long waiting times or don't know where to find rehabilitation services near them. In this study, half of the patients will use a new mobile app that shows rehabilitation centers on a map, displays available appointment times, and allows patients to compare services and costs. The other half will receive standard care, where they must contact their family doctor to help find rehabilitation services. The study will measure how quickly patients start rehabilitation after leaving the hospital, how well their hip functions after treatment, their quality of life, and pain levels. The investigators will also look at whether the app is easy to use.
