A Mobile Application to Improve Postoperative Outcomes in Colorectal Cancer

Summary

The unplanned readmission rate after colorectal cancer surgery is still high, despite the implementation of enhanced recovery programs. The use of a mobile-based application for perioperative remote monitoring may improve the postoperative outcomes and reduce the unplanned postoperative readmissions.
