204 patients will be randomized to either being on the waiting list for consultation, accessing publically available information about osteoarthritis (control group) or getting access to an 8-week information- and self-management intervention delivered through the Genus app prior to consultation.
Pasients with answer questionnaires at baseline, 4 weeks (intervention group only), 8 weeks, post consultation and 1 and 2 years after consultation.
