Area of Science:

Digital Health Interventions
Prehabilitation Medicine
Mobile Health (mHealth) Technology

Background:

Prehabilitation programs are crucial for surgical patients but face challenges like transportation and time constraints.
Mobile health (mHealth) solutions, particularly smartphone apps, offer a promising approach to overcome these barriers.
mHealth can enhance patient engagement and adherence to prehabilitation protocols.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a mobile application facilitating a multidisciplinary prehabilitation protocol.
The app integrates blood flow restriction training and sports nutrition supplementation guidance.
To create a tool for improving prehabilitation delivery and patient outcomes.

Main Methods:

The app was developed using the noncoding platform 'Appy Pie'.
Development involved defining principles and requirements through expert meetings.
The prototype underwent evaluation by clinicians, specialists, technical staff, and end-users.

Main Results:

A functional app prototype was created, focusing on multidisciplinary prehabilitation.
Features were included to boost engagement, adherence, and track patient-reported outcomes.
Evaluations by users and research members yielded positive feedback on the app's potential.

Conclusions:

The developed mobile app shows significant potential as an mHealth tool for prehabilitation.
It can effectively deliver and evaluate multidisciplinary prehabilitation interventions.
Future research can leverage this app to assess its impact on patient outcomes.
