Using Digital Health in a Postoperative Setting After Major Surgery: Survey Study
Sponsor: Jessa Hospital
Summary
This study aims to explore patients' use of digital services for self-management of their health following major surgery at Jessa Hospital. Besides this, the study evaluates patients' ability to process and critically assess health information during recovery, their understanding of health concepts and risk factors, and their perception of data security and control over personal health information. Additionally, the study aims to examine patients' motivation to use digital services, their access to and trust in reliable digital health resources, and how well these services meet their individual needs. Furthermore, the study assesses the acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility of using digital health tools in a post-operative setting, as well as evaluating the digital readiness of patients after surgery.
