About this trial

Participants are being invited to take part in this research study because you will be undergoing total shoulder replacement or rotator cuff repair and will be participating in physical therapy rehabilitation following the procedure. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effectiveness of Band Connect, a connected health platform, in enhancing compliance with home exercise programs among patients undergoing physical therapy. This study aims to evaluate the implications of increased compliance on improving patient engagement and increasing satisfaction for both patients and clinicians. Additionally, the study will analyze the economic implications of implementing Band Connect's hybrid care model on driving increased revenue per patient.
