“…Of these, 16 studies addressed at least one element of the patient experience; the most commonly measured outcome associated with patient experience was patient satisfaction ( Table 2). In general, studies reported high levels of patient satisfaction associated with use of PGHD for postoperative management [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Satisfaction was generally assessed via questionnaire or survey.…”

Background: As the use of patient-owned devices, including smartphones and tablets, to manage day-today activities grows, so does healthcare industry's interest to better leverage technology to engage patients. For surgical care, a unique opportunity exists to capture patient-generated health data (PGHD) including photographs. As part of a broader initiative to evaluate PGHD for surgical site infection (SSI) surveillance, we sought evidence regarding patient involvement and experience with PGHD for SSI monitoring and surveillance. Methods: Through a scoping review of the literature and semi-structured stakeholder interviews we gathered evidence on what is currently known about patient perspectives of and experiences with mobile health (mHealth) interventions for post-operative recovery. We presented findings to and discussed with the ASSIST PGHD Stakeholder Advisory Group (PSAG) to generate priorities for further examination. Results: Our scoping review yielded 34 studies that addressed post-discharge use of PGHD for monitoring and surveillance of SSI. Of these, 16 studies addressed at least one outcome regarding patient experience; the most commonly measured outcome was patient satisfaction. Only three studies reported on patient involvement in the development of PGHD tools and interventions. We conducted interviews (n = 24) representing a range of stakeholder perspectives. Interviewees stressed the importance of patient involvement in tool and program design, noting patient involvement ensures the ''work'' that patients do in their daily lives to manage their health and healthcare is recognized. Discussion of evidence with the ASSIST PSAG resulted in formal recommendations for direct involvement of patients and caregivers for future work. Conclusions: While mHealth initiatives to advance post-operative management offer the ability to improve patient engagement, work is needed to ensure the patient voice is reflected. Active engagement with patients and caregivers in the development of new technology, the design of new workflows, and the conduct of research and evaluation ensures that the patient experiences and values are incorporated.

“…In this study, the patients were able to send images of surgical wounds captured by a mobile phone camera to the hospital, to assess local complications and avoid unnecessary hospital visits. Pérez et al [40] utilized camera phones for the postoperative management of patients sent home after day surgery. The patients were able to send pictures and pulse oximetry measurements to a hospital server.…”

Mobile phone text messaging (Short Message Service, SMS) has proved to be a powerful tool for many tasks in health care. It is affordable and instant way for communication between health care personnel and patients, enabling different kinds of control and monitoring applications, improving adherence in self-management of chronic diseases or healthy lifestyle programs etc. However, it is not only textual data that can be transmitted by mobile phone messaging. Multimedia Message Service (MMS) makes it possible to send images, video sequences and audio attached to the message. This has significant potential in health care applications, and an amount of research has been made recently on this field. In this paper, we review the recent development in the mobile phone messaging in health care. Special attention has been paid in the discussion of the current state of the art of text messaging as well as the potentiality of multimedia data that can be utilized by means of multimedia messaging.

“…Patients were given mobile phones with built-in cameras that returned essential information (such as images) to help modify treatment. [10] It was suggested that novel applications could be used to improve postsurgical care with new-generation mobile phones. Mobile applications are portable (convenient), popular, can provide precise information, and are interactive; therefore, they are being gradually implemented in the field of medical care.…”

The number of elective day-case surgeries has considerably increased in recent years, especially in China. Few studies have investigated the ability of mobile applications to assist recovery for patients having undergone day-surgery; however, these studies have indicated that the use of mobile applications is cost-efficient and has a positive effect on recovery after surgery. This study aimed to evaluate the utility and efficacy of using the 317-nursing mobile application program (317NAPP) for monitoring home recovery following day-surgery involving high ligation of the hernial sac in pediatric patients. Prospective clinical study involving 2 parallel groups. Patients were randomly divided into the “intervention 317NAPP group” (n = 64) and the control group (n = 63). Patients were followed-up using the 317NAPP in the intervention group and via telephonic consultations in the control group. All patients were enrolled after being provided sufficient guidance with respect to discharge and health education. The health index, including the physiological function, ability to perform daily activities, and the injury response, was evaluated before and 24 hours after surgery. The time duration of each follow-up session was also evaluated in both groups. The preoperative (T1) health index scores were significantly higher than the postoperative (T0) ones in both groups ( P = .00). The quality of recovery (T1–T0) of the intervention group (10.75 ± 5.28) was better than that of the control group (11.78 ± 5.16), but the differences were not significant ( P = .27). In the intervention group, the follow-up time duration was significantly lower in comparison to that in the control group ( P = .00). This study demonstrated that 317NAPP had a positive effect on recovery following day-surgery, and the time-duration for follow-up was shorter than that performed using telephonic consultation. Monitoring recovery using 317NAPP was safe, efficient, inexpensive, and relatively easy; therefore, it may help improve the recovery of patients having undergone day-surgery.
