Apple Watch is thriving as an approachable health tracking solution, especially for heart-related issues thanks to heart rate alerts and the upcoming ECG feature. Now the Apple Watch has a new app for helping patients track their journey before and after undergoing knee or hip replacement, and there’s a major clinical study behind it.
MyMobility from musculoskeletal healthcare firm Zimmer Biomet “uses Apple Watch to facilitate a new level of connection between patients and their surgical care teams, which can immediately impact the journey patients experience when they undergo these procedures,” the company announced today.
Zimmer Biomet is using the new Apple Watch app as the center of its MyMobility Clinical Study to learn more about patient knee and hip replacement costs and outcomes:
Apple COO Jeff Williams commented on Apple Watch powering the new app:
Zimmer Biomet is launching the new app today and says the study could enroll as many as 10,000 patient participants across the U.S. Find out more at www.zbmymobility.com.
