Summary

This trial will test if mobile devices can help prevent readmission in patients who have had major GI cancer surgery.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for English-speaking adults over 18 who own a smartphone and are scheduled for GI cancer surgery (pancreatic, liver, stomach, small bowel, colon or rectal). It's not suitable for those with dementia, substance abuse issues, sepsis from another source or needing emergency surgery.
What is being tested?
The study compares the effectiveness of using mobile health apps and Fitbit alongside standard care versus standard care alone in preventing hospital readmission after major GI cancer surgeries.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-invasive tools like mobile apps and Fitbit devices along with usual medical care, side effects may be minimal but could include discomfort or skin irritation from wearing the device.
