Randomized Clinical Trial of FitBit and Mobile Apps Versus Usual Care to Improve Post-Operative Outcomes After GI Cancer Surgery

This is a randomized clinical trial to evaluate the use of mobile devices in preventing
readmission in geriatric patients undergoing major GI cancer operations.

Patients will be randomized to 1) standard of care or 2) to use our mobile app with standard
care. The mobile app will collect information on patients' daily physical activity patterns
and health status data for clinicians using smartphone mobile technology applications. The
investigators believe that by tracking information on patients, the investigators may be able
to intervene sooner and prevent a delay in care.

2. Subject speaks English

3. Subject owns an iPhone
