Abstract:
Our survey of 38 surgeons shows that Ecological Momentary Computerized Adaptive Testing (EMCAT), a platform to remotely collect patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) is acceptable to surgeons, and 36 of 38 are willing to participate in future randomized control trials comparing EMCAT versus routine follow-up.Level of evidence: IV.
