Genus-appen er utviklet av Diakonhjemmet sykehus og brukes i det pågående forskningsprosjektet OA-AID. Appen gir informasjon om kneartrose rettet mot for personer som er henvist for vurdering i spesialisthelsetjenesten. I appen følges et program over åtte uker, der nye informasjonsvideoer blir tilgjengelig hver uke. I tillegg finnes det i appen treningsøvelser tilrettelagt for kneartrose, ukentlige quiz, spørreskjema og mulighet for å skrive notater og spørsmål. Målet med appen er at brukeren skal få mer kunnskap om kneartrose og være bedre forberedt til timen på sykehuset. Appen er ikke ment å bistå i medisinske avgjørelser, og du bør alltid ta kontakt med en spesialist før du gjør valg som påvirker din helse.
