PREHABILITATION THROUGH A MOBILE APPLICATION (PREHAPP) IN MAJOR COLON CANCER SURGERY

Abstract Introduction Prehabilitation aims to optimise functional capacity before surgery. We present the prehabilitation programme through a mobile app (PREHapp). Methods Patients with resectable colon cancer, ≥18 years old, without comorbidities and Android Smartphones are selected. The following is proposed PREHapp during 4 week pre- postoperative period. Depending on results of 6-minute test initial ergospirometry, would be individualised different objectives. allows patient record their activities synchronises website designed for surgeon which he/she can monitor compliance. Results impact outcomes depended Studies show that high compliance rates in ERAS programmes associated fewer complications. In this aspect, telemedicine could have great potential, as it has enabled design new health improve accessibility, including creation apps. use these apps favours therapeutic education, enhances empowerment disease management. Conclusions There few studies field prehabilitation. application thus
