Abstract
Colorectal surgery is a common procedure for bowel cancer, with communication of information playing a key role in patient surgery preparation and recovery. Previous research has shown that surgery e-health tools are effective in many medical contexts. With this in mind, an interactive app was developed using an iterative user-centred design and research process and a multi-methods approach. The aim was to enhance communication between patients and medical staff and empower patients throughout their recovery. Results showed the superiority of a mobile app in communicating information when compared to a printed booklet, and to a tablet app variant.
