Study Objectives
Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.Primary outcome measures
Effectiveness of the study intervention during the preoperative period to increase patients compliance with prehabilitation goals as measured by average steps per day
Patient compliance of telemonitoring with activity trackers as measured by percentage of time the patient is wearing the device properly

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Phone CallExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients will be provided with a Fitbit wristband & assistance to set up on smart phone
Preoperative baseline data (activity, sleep, heartrate) will be collected for at least 14 days until the day prior to surgery
The group will receive a phone call 7 days into their preoperative period to identify barriers, provide available resources, & encourage continuation of prehabilitation activities
The physician extender will talk with the patient to identify barriers to prehabilitation activities that the patient may have experienced during the first 7 days of activity tracking & provide recommendations & resources to overcome those barriers when possible. The physician extender will encourage the patient to continue prehabilitation activities until the day of operation to meet goals. Following surgery, we will analyze Fitbit data to determine if the intervention had an impact on the patient's prehabilitation activity with the non-intervened patient group used as a control
Group II: No Phone CallActive Control1 Intervention
Eligible patients will be provided with a Fitbit wristband & assistance to set up on smart phone
Preoperative baseline data (activity, sleep, heartrate) will be collected for at least 14 days until the day prior to surgery
