Evaluation of a Digital Perioperative Support Solution for Colorectal Surgery: Compliance and Impact on Patients

Detailed Summary

The Institute of Image-Guided Surgery (IHU) of Strasbourg develops new minimally invasive therapies, the benefit of which is maximized by an integrated approach to the care pathway (pre, per and postoperative). Encouraging patient engagement in the process responds to its growing demand for information and consideration, enhances its care experience and clinical outcomes. Medtronic has designed an digital solution for patient engagement (current name: "Get Ready") for scheduled colorectal surgery. The IHU is a pilot experiment site for this solution. This research protocol, of which the IHU is the promoter, aims at evaluating the use and the impact of this solution made available to the patients of the Hepato-Digestive Pole (PHD) of the New Civil Hospital. The solution deployed at the Strasbourg IHU aims to improve the patient's preparation for his colorectal surgery and follow his rehabilitation after surgery, by reinforcing his compliance with existing protocols and enriching it with complementary practices. The solution is not a medical device. It is limited to advice, monitoring and restitution of data declared by the patient; it is not intended to prevent, diagnose or treat the pathology; it is independent of any other medical device. This study aims to assess the pre-operative impact of the solution, in terms of patients' adherence to the pre-operative program and correlations with their physical and psychological condition until their admission to surgery. The secondary purpose of the study is to precise the acceptability of the solution.
