Using an E-Health Application for Post-operative Monitoring After Inguinal Hernia Repair: A Feasibility Study
ConclusionAn e-Health application is a promising tool for identifying patients who require in-person or phone follow-up assessment. Patients ’ perspectives surveys revealed high potential and willingness of using this application. A hypothetical e-Health follow-up scenario showed to be more expensive compared to current standard follow-up. If the identified (dis)advantages can be improved, e-Health follow-up care appears to be promisin g in terms of safety and feasibility. Future studies can leverage on this study and further investigate the use of e-Health within the field of general surgery. (Source: World Journal of Surgery)
