Digital app support during breast reconstruction surgery recovery

This trial is testing whether a smartphone app can help patients feel better during recovery from breast reconstruction surgery after mastectomy. The app provides educational information about what to expect before and after surgery, and helps track important health information like pain levels, sleep quality, heart rate, and blood pressure. The goal is to see if this digital support improves anxiety, pain, sleep, and overall quality of life compared to standard care alone.

Patients undergoing breast reconstruction often experience significant anxiety, pain, sleep problems, and worry about complications. Doctors want to know if providing education and continuous health monitoring through a smartphone app — starting before surgery and continuing through recovery — can better support patients and improve their overall well-being.
