Abstract

NanoRehab is a mobile health application designed to develop Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) management by assimilating nanomedicine with personalized rehabilitation plans. Initial development involved a wide-ranging review of existing health applications, KOA rehabilitation methods, and advancements in nanotechnology, recognising a significant need for tailored, adaptive solutions in KOA treatment.The app purposes to provide a personalized and adaptive solution for KOA management by using real-time data from wearable devices to adjust treatment protocols based on individual progress, in that way enhancing recovery outcomes. NanoRehab’s features, together with personalized exercise regimens, nanomedicine monitoring, real-time progress tracking was evaluated through a potential user survey with 62 KOA patients. Survey results showed a high likelihood of app adoption, with 88% of participants stating strong interest and confidence in the app’s potential to progress rehabilitation outcomes.This study highlights NanoRehab’s potential as a complete digital health solution for KOA management, effectively integrating innovative treatment approaches to meet the personalized requirements of KOA patients.
