Objective  To integrate augmented reality (AR) into the whole process of health management and observe its application effect in hip replacement patients. Methods  Patients undergoing hip replacement in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery of West China Hospital, Sichuan University between April and September 2022 were selected. According to the random number table method, patients were divided into a trial group and a control group. The trial group adopted the whole process AR health management mode, and the control group adopted the conventional health education mode. The joint function score, functional exercise compliance, coping difficulties after discharge, Huaxi Emotional-distress Index and satisfaction of the two groups at different time points were compared. Results  A total of 80 patients were included, with 40 patients in each group. At each follow-up time point after surgery, the scores of Harris Hip Score and Post-Discharge Coping Difficulty Scale among trial group patients were better than those of the control group patients (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the Huaxi Emotional-distress Index scores between the two groups (P>0.05). The compliance rate of functional exercise in the trial group (P=0.025) and the patient satisfaction were higher than those in the control group (Z=−4.918, P<0.05). Conclusions  The AR-based whole process health management can make it easier for patients to grasp functional exercise (preoperative pre-exercise, postoperative rehabilitation), post-hospital health guidance and other educational knowledge. This new health management is conducive to enhancing patients’ exercise compliance, strengthening joint function recovery, daily living ability and patient satisfaction.It can be promoted and applied in clinical practice.
