A method for monitoring a joint of a subject over a course of therapy, the method comprising:
- providing a plurality of adherent sensors adhered to skin adjacent the joint, each adherent sensor comprising an adherent surface, a mechanical sensing element for sensing one or more mechanical parameters of the joint, and a transmitter;
- measuring measurement data with at least one adherent sensor of the plurality of adherent sensors;
- transmitting the measurement data from the at least one adherent sensor to a local computing device, the local computing device being in communication with a remote computing device and being configured to transmit the measurement data thereto;
- receiving the measurement data with the remote computing device;
- providing analysis of the measurement data to the local computing device from the remote computing device;
- and
- providing the analysis to the subject with the local computing device.
