While at Zimmer Biomet we worked with Apple to answer one big question:
Can the iPhone and Apple Watch meaningfully support patients through joint replacement surgery?
The results were a resounding YES.
Patients using mymobility had 63% less pre-op anxiety and rated their surgical experience better than previous ones.
Patients completed post-surgery outcome surveys at rates up to 20% higher than traditional care.
The app enabled fewer ER visits (2.5% vs 8.2%), fewer readmissions (2.5% vs 6.7%), and matched the clinical outcomes of standard care.
Significantly reduced in-person physical therapy with equal results
The app focuses on pre and post-op education, remote PT, surveys, and care team communication. It is live in 5 continents, in 22 countries, and in 10 languages today.
