Study Summary

This trial is evaluating an integrated discharge monitoring system with a mobile app to support colorectal surgery patients at home following discharge from hospital. The aim is to see if this leads to a reduction in unplanned hospital visits and improved quality of patient recovery.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults who've had elective colorectal surgery and are going home afterwards. They must be over 18, able to speak English or French, and give informed consent. It's not for those with short post-op hospital stays under 3 days or needing rehab before going home.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests a mobile app designed to monitor patients at home after colorectal surgery against standard follow-up care. Participants will either use the app as part of an integrated discharge system or receive usual care, aiming to reduce unplanned hospital visits.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves using a mobile app rather than medication, traditional side effects aren't expected. However, there may be issues related to usability or stress from technology use.
