Feasibility and Efficacy of Engagement Modules for Pre-Bariatric Surgery Patients.
This current study aims to evaluate the efficacy of engagement modules in preparing patients
for bariatric surgery. With the help of the Center for Innovation (CFI), a smartphone app
(Android and Apple compatible) has been created that will assist in both educating and
engaging patients to develop and maintain healthy lifestyle modifications. Our goal is to
create a cost-effective, smartphone-based platform that serves to not only efficiently
educate but to also verify competence and keep our patients engaged during the lengthy
pre-bariatric surgery process.
Inclusion Criteria:
1. Patients, who upon completion of an evaluation by Endocrinology, are considered
appropriate to pursue a primary, laparoscopic bariatric surgery.
2. Patients who are 18 years of age or greater.
3. Patients who own a smartphone.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Patients with a history of a prior bariatric surgery.
2. Patients with active psychiatric disorder(s).
3. Patients with active tobacco use.
4. Patients with active substance use (alcohol, illicit drugs, etc.)
