Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Feasibility of smartphone follow up<br>The number of patients who consent and use the app will be measured, as well as a a record the number of days of complete data for each participant. <br>This will be assessed by analysing data obtained from the app on an excel spreadsheet. [3 months post surgery];Step count outcomes<br>Includes proportion of time spent inactive, daily step count, distance walked, average walking speed. This is a composite outcome<br>This will be assessed through summary data on an excel spreadsheet derived from the app. <br><br><br><br>[3 months post surgery];Hospital Outcomes<br>Number of days free from hospital, nursing home care or rehabilitation at 3 months and death during hospital stay and at 3 months. This is a composite outcome<br>This data will be collected through medical records[3 months post surgery]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Patient satisfaction<br>Patient satisfaction with the use of a smartphone app for follow-up will be assessed with a survey designed specifically for this study[3 months post surgery];GPS outcomes<br>Includes time spent at home, linear distance travelled, number of locations visited, minimum convex polygon activity space (area of a polygon that bounds the GPS locations) and standard deviation ellipse activity space (the area of an ellipse plotted from the mean longitude and latitude). This is a composite outcome.<br>This will be assessed through summary data on an excel spreadsheet derived from the app. <br><br><br>NB: This is a Primary Outcome[3 months post surgery]
