Abstract

In the realm of modern healthcare, digital health solutions are poised to transform patient care, particularly in surgical interventions such as Total Hip Arthroplasty. Through a scoping review of 40 studies, this paper identifies six categories of digital interventions tailored for pre- and post-operative care in THA, spanning (Tele-)Rehabilitation, (Tele-)Monitoring and -Communication, Mobile Applications and Patient Portals, Digital Patient Assessment and Outcome Measurement, as well as Biomechanics and Robotics. These solutions, ranging from AI-driven communication tools to weight-shifting robot control systems, promise a more patient-centered, efficient, and accessible healthcare model. The paper concludes by advocating for continued exploration and development of digital health solutions to improve surgical outcomes and patient experiences across various medical contexts.
