Official title
Reducing Surgical Readmissions Through Mobile Technology: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This randomized trial will study the effect of a mobile app that facilitates patient engagement (patients undergoing complex abdominal surgery will track metrics of interest to the surgeon, submit reports on their symptoms/pain/physical function, and upload wound images) on readmission to the hospital. This trial will also assess whether the app can impact surgical complication severity, number of emergency department visits, and readmission costs. 300 participants will be enrolled and can expect to be on study for 6 months.
