Summary

Prehabilitation programmes have the potential to reduce post-operative complications following abdominal cancer surgery by improving pre-operative fitness levels. Home-based prehabilitation programmes may be more cost effective than hospital-based programmes, but have issues with low compliance. The aims of our study are to assess whether mobile technologies such as smart watches and smartphone applications improve compliance with home-based prehabilitation programmes and to assess the effects of prehabilitation on pre-operative fitness levels in patients due to undergo major abdominal cancer surgery.
