Problem
Patients facing major surgeries such as total hip or knee replacement often arrive for their operations underprepared, with limited understanding of the procedure and without having optimised their physical health beforehand. This lack of preparation can contribute to slower recovery, higher complication rates, and less satisfactory surgical outcomes.
Solution
Better Surgery provides expert-led digital programmes that guide patients through the pre-operative and post-operative journey with content tailored to their specific procedure. The platform delivers education about the operation, health optimisation strategies, and structured exercise plans designed to build strength and fitness before surgery, supporting a more confident and smoother recovery. Each programme is procedure-specific, currently offering a total hip replacement pathway while a total knee replacement programme is in development. Patients can access the programmes from home and follow at their own pace, enabling them to take control of their surgical journey and aim for the best possible result from their operation.
Target Audience
Primary customers are patients scheduled for total hip replacement, with future programmes targeting total knee replacement patients who want to improve their physical readiness and recovery outcomes through structured guidance. The platform also serves healthcare professionals seeking to support their patients in preparing for surgery.
