Summary

This study evaluate if in an ambulatory breast reconstruction patient population at Women's College Hospital (WCH), can we avert in-person follow-up care through the use of mobile app home monitoring compared to conventional, in-person follow-up care in the first 30-days following surgery.

Conditions

  • Use of Mobile App Home Monitoring After Ambulatory Surgery

Interventions

DEVICE

Mobile app follow-up care

The mobile app follow-up care is an application that can be loaded on to a smartphone. It allows the patient to submit photos of their surgical site, VAS pain scores, and QoR9 scores. The information collected is transmitted to members of the surgical team (i.e. the primary surgeon) and used to monitor recovery over the first 30-days following surgery.

OTHER

Conventional, in-person follow-up care

This includes a typical in-person visit with the operating surgeon at one- and four-weeks after surgery.
