In this study, we conducted a preliminary investigation about difficulty in everyday life and necessary medical support information for patients who were operated on total hip arthroplasty (THA). According to the result, we developed a remote nursing system for THA patients, and the system was evaluated by nurses. From a result of preliminary research, we devised a structure of contents which can solve patients' difficulty feeled in everyday life by providing appropriate supporting information, and we established a system where patients can get specific information at home when needed. The system evaluation by nurses was generally satisfactory, and we made improvements for the matters pointed out through a group interview. We are planning to do an actual trial operation against THA patients after preparing contents to support patients undergoing bilateral THA.
