Interventions
Prehabilitation Program (Apple Watch Series 6 with exercise flipbook)
We will evaluate whether use of a personal device (the Apple Watch) could help medical professionals assess patients' pre-surgery prehab state. It will also assess whether patients are willing to use a personal device and engage in prehab exercise and whether the device can enhance prehab uptake. The intervention is to also offer patients the Exercise Flipbook, to send them a reminder to exercise and to send them notifications to track their exercise.
