A Patient-Centered Digital Approach to Joint Replacement

In 2018, Apple and Zimmer Biomet partnered to launch a large-scale clinical trial. Using the mymobility app and Apple Watch, patients stayed on track during recovery, reported a better experience, and achieved the same health outcomes with fewer visits.

The question

Can an app and smartwatch meaningfully support patients through joint replacement surgery?

Roles

Apple provided hardware, exclusive early access to new gait metrics, and feedback on the designs.

I worked on the patient mobile app, watch, clinician web app, and the design system over the last ~7 years.

The outcome

Less pre-op anxiety

63% of patients reported feeling less anxious before surgery when using mymobility

Higher satisfaction

82% said their surgical experience was better than previous surgeries

Higher engagement

Over 90% of patients completed patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), compared to typical averages of ~20–30%
