ECA de aplicaciones móviles y FitBit versus atención habitual

Mobile health application and Fitbit + standard of care: Participants will utilize mobile app and Fitbit and standard of care. Mobility data will be generated using a mobile health tracker designed for smartphone devices.

Mobility data will be generated using a mobile health tracker designed for smartphone devices, which allows the phone to automatically and passively (no patient input needed) capture information on the patient's activity; i.e. if the person is walking, remaining stationary, or moving at a rapid speed (eg. in a car). The app will prompt patients once daily to answer a series of questions that will collect patient reported symptoms and health status data. Physicians will be alerted to abnormal values within 24-48 hours and patients will be triggered to call their physicians immediately if the values are outside of normal parameters.

Participants will receive standard of care

Post-operative standard of care information

Investigators will track readmission rates after surgery for those on the trial

Investigators will track patients' healthcare resource utilization and the cost of this utilization by assessing how often the patients contact their providers via phone or the app, access the emergency room, and through readmission data.

Investigators will assess patients' satisfaction with their care experience and device. This will be done with an internal questionnaire asking if patients were satisfied and if they found it easy to use.

Investigators will monitor patients' return to baseline health after surgery by tracking progress via step counts, as monitored by a FitBit tracker.

Investigators will monitor patients' return to baseline health after surgery by tracking progress using a questionnaire, modified from the Katz Activities of Daily Living scale. For this scale, a score of 6 is high, indicating that the patient is independent and a score of 0 is low, indicating that the patient very dependent in performing their ADLs.
