Study Summary
The purpose of the protocol is to assess how incentive spirometer data gathered via a smartphone platform can be utilized to improve participant adherence to prescribed incentive spirometer exercises in the post-operative period. Half of the participants will receive a standard of care incentive spirometer with a passive tracking device while the other half of the participants will receive a smartphone connected device and smartphone with an application that will encourage their use.
Primary Outcome
The primary outcome of the study will be a measure of how adherent the participant has been to the prescribed post-operative incentive spirometer exercises. Participants are prescribed ten breathing exercises per hour using the spirometer and the electronic devices in both arms will record how often the participant utilizes the device, measured on an hourly basis.
