Designing and building a care application that is a candidate for knee replacement surgery to increase the level of awareness of patients.

A clinical trial with the control group, one blind, randomized, sample size 100, a random selection of individuals in this study will be such that using random number generator software

All patients who are candidates for knee arthroplasty are admitted to the orthopedic ward of Baqiyatallah Hospital in Tehran. The researcher fills in the initial demographic form of the application, then all the information of the two groups is recorded in the application and the people in the target group receive the application and the people in the control group receive the routine training of the hospital.

Clinical self-examination is a study to evaluate the treatment and special care measures such as surgery, education or preventive methods. They are randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups.

In this method, blinding is used to prevent bias caused by interventions. In general, blinding controls the confounding factors. In the one-way blind method, the sample or intervener is not aware of the intervention method. This study is one-sided so that all subjects in the case group or in the control group must first fill in the initial demographic form of the application via the researcher's mobile phone, then all the information of the two groups is recorded in the application and individuals Those in the case group receive the application, and those in the control group receive routine hospital training.
