Digital prehabilitation—a solution to resource shortages?

Abstract

Chantal M den Bakker and colleagues must be congratulated for their Article on their digitised rehabilitation trial.1 They showed that a digitised online rehabilitation programme with trackers, a digital consultation platform, and patient-reported outcomes results in a significantly faster time until return to normal activities after major surgery. One aspect that was not shown was the exercising data of individual participants, and compliance was defined as “at least generated a convalescence plan on the website”.
