Clinical Trial Summary

With increasingly more complex surgical patients and the trend toward decreased hospital stay after operations, continuity of care and prompt management of symptoms and side effects perioperatively are ever more crucial. The investigators' goal is to improve perioperative care with a patient-centred mobile application, starting with a pilot in patients undergoing elective Cesarean delivery. The investigators have completed a research study where they created a prototype based on feedback from patients and anesthesiologists. In this study, the investigators would like to learn about how patients use our mobile application after delivery and how the mobile application can be integrated into daily practice.


Clinical Trial Description

The objective of this cohort study is to build the mobile application and evaluate its feasibility in providing patient education and reminders for self-monitoring for cesarean delivery patients. The investigators will measure the extent of patient engagement with our application through in-app usage data, as well as receive quantitative and qualitative feedback regarding feasibility. By understanding user behavior and needs through questionnaires and application usage data, the investigators could design more effective and tailored interventions for patients. Results of this study will help further development and implementation of an interdisciplinary mobile monitoring and communication platform for perioperative care.

This study is funded by the Dalhousie University Department of Anesthesia, Pain Management & Perioperative Medicine. ;
