Summary
This study tests whether a smartphone app can help people with cancer improve their physical fitness before elective surgery. Sixty adults scheduled for cancer surgery will either use the app for guided exercise, nutrition, and mood tracking, or receive usual care. The main goal is to see if the app increases how far they can walk in six minutes just before their operation.
