Patient Perspectives on Telemonitoring during Colorectal Cancer Surgery Prehabilitation
Abstrak
Multimodal prehabilitation for colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery aims to optimize patient fitness and reduce postoperative complications. While telemonitoring's clinical value in supporting decision-making is recognized, patient perspectives on its use in prehabilitation remain underexplored, particularly compared to its related clinical context, rehabilitation. To address this gap, we conducted interviews with five patients who completed a four-week CRC prehabilitation program incorporating continuous telemonitoring. Our findings reveal patients' willingness to engage with telemonitoring, shaped by their motivations, perceived benefits, and concerns. We outline design considerations for patient-centered systems and offer a foundation for further research on telemonitoring in CRC prehabilitation.
