Feasibility, User Acceptance, and Outcomes of Using a Cancer Prehabilitation App for Exercise: Pilot Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The efficacy of cancer prehabilitation programs is supported by international reviews and meta-analyses. Technology has been deployed in cancer prehabilitation to address challenges such as access or limited resources. This study evaluated the feasibility, user acceptance, safety, and program outcomes of a newly developed mobile app for cancer prehabilitation. The app integrates with Singapore's existing health care mobile app, Health Buddy, and provides instructional videos for prescribed exercises.

Objective

The objectives of this study were to investigate the feasibility, user experience, safety, and outcomes of a mobile app for cancer prehabilitation within a hospital-associated, home-based, multimodal cancer prehabilitation program.
