Study Summary

This randomized trial will study the effect of a mobile app that facilitates patient engagement (patients undergoing complex abdominal surgery will track metrics of interest to the surgeon, submit reports on their symptoms/pain/physical function, and upload wound images) on readmission to the hospital. This trial will also assess whether the app can impact surgical complication severity, number of emergency department visits, and readmission costs. 300 participants will be enrolled and can expect to be on study for 6 months.

Primary Outcome

The primary aim of the study is to determine if using MobiMD app changes the proportion of participants readmitted to the hospital within 30 days of surgery. Readmission will be counted as "1" event and no readmission will be counted as "0" event. In concordance with the standards of Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services, multiple readmissions for the same participant within a 30-day period will be measured as one event.
