The content of the digital behavioral tool was developed based on standard Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques. An additional layer of support includes a behavioral health coach who provides guidance and motivation throughout the use of the app via in-app text messaging. This approach has already been tested at UPMC on multiple adult clinical populations. This project represents the first pilot of the digital behavioral tool with perioperative patients The digital behavioral tool can provide a resource gap by providing preventive mental health services to promote mental health wellness for patients to help reduce the deleterious impact of established mood disorders on recovery following primary total knee replacements including: * pain and opioid requirement, * functional recovery, * decrease complications, and * reduce resources utilization such as hospital length of stay, postoperative need for visits and the use of rehabilitation. 1. Determine the feasibility of using RxWell for patients undergoing elective surgery who have mood disorder symptoms using MyUPMC platform and established either at the time of visiting the Center for Perioperative Care (CPC) either in-person or via anesthesia telemedicine services (ATS) in a tertiary care system. 2. Determine the impact of RxWell-associated improvements in anxiety, depression, and catastrophizing on postoperative outcomes with a special focus on resources utilization.
