简要总结
The unplanned readmission rate after colorectal cancer surgery is still high, despite the implementation of enhanced recovery programs. The use of a mobile-based application for perioperative remote monitoring may improve the postoperative outcomes and reduce the unplanned postoperative readmissions.
详细描述
Despite the implementation of enhanced recovery programs, the rate of unplanned readmissions remains high after colorectal cancer surgery. These readmissions are often preventable with a better postoperative management. Increasing studies have demonstrated the feasibility and efficacy of perioperative remote monitoring mobile applications in improving the postoperative outcomes but are often limited to one restricted outcome. This project aims to evaluate the effect of the Care 4 Today® (Johnson & Johnson) perioperative mobile app on the postoperative outcomes of colorectal cancer patients, with a focus on unplanned readmissions.

研究组 & 干预措施
Care 4 Today ® (Johnson and Johnson) mobile app
Patients will undergo standard perioperative management. Additionally, patients will use the Care 4 Today ® (Johnson and Johnson) mobile app for remote monitoring from the preoperative assessment day to 30 days after surgery. The Care 4 Today Care ® (Johnson and Johnson) mobile app will include daily reminds for preoperative recommendations adherence (water intake, medications adherence, mobilization, smoking quit...) and postoperative monitoring of symptoms (fever, pain, and mood deflections).
干预措施: Care 4 Today ® (Johnson and Johnson) mobile app (Device)
Standard perioperative management
The historic cohort include patients who underwent standard perioperative management from March 2020 to April 2023.
