Summary

This study tests a personalized, digitally supported prehabilitation program for adults waiting for elective cardiac surgery. Participants receive education, psychosocial support, nutritional advice, and home-based exercise guidance during the routine 6-10 week preoperative period. The goal is to see if this program is feasible, acceptable, and safe to integrate into standard care, with exploratory outcomes on functional capacity and well-being.
