Treatment and study plan

LifeScience Technologies application

Other

Application for mobile devices. The app enables users to review educational videos about a surgery and recovery from a surgery from home. It also enables the user to track different metrics specific to the user's health.

Other names: LST app

Primary outcomes

  1. Compliance using LST app at home

    Time frame: 90 Days

    The LST app logs user activity. The study team will track user compliance with completing forms and questions within the application.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Patient-generated subjective global assessment (PG-SGA)

    Time frame: Baseline

    Test the PG-SGA using the LST app to see if it is feasible in practice at identifying patients at increased risk of malnutrition.

  2. Edmonton Frail Scale (EFS)

    Time frame: Baseline

    Test the EFS using the LST app to see if it is feasible in practice at identifying frail patients.

  3. Physician Office/Clinician and Group Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CG-CAHPS) Survey Research (HealthStream™)

    Time frame: Change from Baseline to Day 90

    Measure of how well the patient understood the various tests and procedures that were discussed with them before and after surgery.

  4. Count of readmissions

    Time frame: Day 90

    Count of the number of readmissions to the hospital.
