Study Summary

This trial aims to see if using a pedometer with virtual coaching can help patients walk better after major abdominal surgery. They want to know if coaching with the pedometer can increase walking, improve

Who is the study for?

This trial is for individuals recovering from major abdominopelvic surgery. Participants should be willing to use a pedometer app and share their data. Specific inclusion or exclusion criteria are not provided, but typically, patients with complications that prevent walking or using an app may be excluded.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing if remote follow-up via a pedometer app and text message coaching can increase post-surgery walking (ambulation). It's comparing two groups: one gets the app plus coaching, the other just uses the app. The aim is to see if this improves satisfaction and recovery while reducing complications.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves non-invasive interventions like using a pedometer and receiving text messages, side effects are minimal. However, participants might experience privacy concerns due to data sharing or stress from adhering to ambulation goals.
