•Age: Adults aged 18 years or older.

•Surgery Timing: The planned surgery must be scheduled to take place between 1 and 8 weeks after initial contact/enrollment.
•Cognitive Capacity: Patients must have the ability to understand and comprehend general health information related to their upcoming surgery.
•Consent Capacity: Patients must be able to provide informed consent, which includes understanding the study aims, procedures, and the intervention allocation (digital vs. physical).
•Prehabilitation Participation: Patients must be willing and able to participate in the patient education component of the pre-surgery program, regardless of whether they are assigned to the physical or digital group.

•Consent: Inability or unwillingness to provide informed consent.
•Cognitive Impairment: Significant cognitive impairment that affects the comprehension of health information, the ability to retain pre-surgery instructions, or the reliability of self-reported data (e.g., dementia).
•Technology Barriers: Inability or unwillingness to use digital technology for intervention delivery (digital group) and/or completing study assessments (e.g., lack of access to smartphones/tablets, aversion to digital tools).
•Surgery Timing: Surgery scheduled outside the defined time window (i.e., less than 1 week or more than 8 weeks post-initial contact).
•Prior Exposure: Participants who have already received physical education materials prior to enrollment in this study.
