Abstract

Prehabilitation for colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery is a multimodal lifestyle change program that prevents postoperative complications. While telemonitoring (TM) during prehabilitation is still in its infancy, this technology is currently being explored to build an understanding of patients' lifestyles outside the clinic. However, one prevalent design problem is fitting TM systems in clinicians' existing workflows without disrupting or creating more work. In this study, we investigate how data from a TM system tracking patient physical activity, sleep, and stress fit into the workflow of different prehabilitation clinical specialties. We present early findings from 4 workshops conducted with an oncological physiotherapist, a specialized nurse, a surgeon, and a research doctor interested in policy making. Findings show that: (i) there is a need for different decision-support system designs per specialty, (ii) clinicians' data needs can change over the program's timeline, and (iii) clinicians prefer to share the data with patients.
