What this trial studies
This randomized controlled trial compares standard postoperative care to an intervention that uses a PHP-MySQL based digital follow-up system combined with structured nursing education and an 8-week post‑op exercise program starting at month four. Participants are adults aged 18-65 undergoing bariatric surgery and able to engage in physical activity. Outcomes include quality of life (MA-II), BMI, and physical activity (IPAQ). The study seeks to determine if enhanced digital monitoring and education support better long-term adherence to lifestyle changes after surgery.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients may experience improved quality of life, better weight trajectory, and increased physical activity after bariatric surgery.
How similar studies have gone: Prior digital-health and education interventions have shown promise in supporting postoperative lifestyle changes, though results vary by setting and population.
