Long-Term Study: The Effectiveness of Digital Osteoarthritis Treatment

Chronic conditions, such as knee or hip osteoarthritis, require long-term treatment. A long-term study conducted by Joint Academy demonstrates that a digital treatment program, delivered via a mobile app, can help patients with chronic joint pain maintain adherence over time while significantly improving their symptoms.

The study results show that patients using Joint Academy reduced their pain by 50% after six months of treatment and improved their physical function by nearly 50%. These findings reinforce the evidence supporting the importance of structured first-line osteoarthritis treatment before considering further interventions, such as joint replacement surgery, in accordance with international guidelines.
