What this study is
The purpose of this study will be to implement and evaluate a prehab program for pre-frail and frail adults who need to undergo thoracic surgery. The study team hypothesizes using an implementation framework will increase the reach, effectiveness, adoption, and implementation of the prehab program.
What's being tested
- Prehabilitation Program (Apple Watch Series 6 with exercise flipbook)
Intervention · DEVICE
We will evaluate whether use of a personal device (the Apple Watch) could help medical professionals assess patients' pre-surgery prehab state. It will also assess whether patients are willing to use a personal device and engage in prehab exercise and whether the device can enhance prehab uptake. The intervention is to also offer patients the Exercise Flipbook, to send them a reminder to exercise and to send them notifications to track their exercise.
