Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to learn whether it is feasible to use the LifeScience Technologies application (LST app) in patients undergoing radical cystectomy with the eventual goal to reduce complications and readmissions to the hospital after surgery.

Interventions

OTHERLifeScience Technologies application

Application for mobile devices. The app enables users to review educational videos about a surgery and recovery from a surgery from home. It also enables the user to track different metrics specific to the user's health.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Compliance using LST app at home	90 Days	The LST app logs user activity. The study team will track user compliance with completing forms and questions within the application.

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Patient-generated subjective global assessment (PG-SGA)	Baseline	Test the PG-SGA using the LST app to see if it is feasible in practice at identifying patients at increased risk of malnutrition.
Edmonton Frail Scale (EFS)	Baseline	Test the EFS using the LST app to see if it is feasible in practice at identifying frail patients.
Physician Office/Clinician and Group Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CG-CAHPS) Survey Research (HealthStream™)	Change from Baseline to Day 90	Measure of how well the patient understood the various tests and procedures that were discussed with them before and after surgery.
Count of readmissions	Day 90	Count of the number of readmissions to the hospital.
