Summary

This study tests a digital decision-support system (Digi-POD) to help prevent postoperative delirium in patients aged 70 and older having elective surgery. The system analyzes patient data and provides evidence-based recommendations to doctors, nurses, and families. Researchers will measure how well the tool improves guideline adherence and reduces delirium after surgery.
