ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring how surgical patients use technology to manage their health and communicate with their healthcare team. It's important for patients to be involved in their own care, and this study aims to understand how well patients are using tools like smartphones and computers to access health information, share updates with doctors, and monitor their recovery. Researchers want to learn if there are differences in technology use based on factors like age, gender, and social background.

To participate in this study, you need to be at least 18 years old and scheduled for surgery in the department conducting the trial. However, if you have trouble reading or understanding messages, or if you need emergency surgery, you won't be eligible to join. If you decide to take part, you can expect to answer questions about your use of technology related to your healthcare. Your involvement will help improve how surgical patients can use technology to support their recovery and communication with medical staff.
