Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This is a two-arm randomized, controlled trial during the postoperative period after major abdominal surgery for cancer, including for example radical cystectomy, nephrectomy, colectomy, comparing a control group that uses a wearable device to track physical activity to an intervention group that uses the same wearable devices and receives a supportive social incentive-based gamification intervention to adhere to a step goal program.

- Intervention
- description
- Participants in the intervention arm will have a postoperative daily step goal that increases from baseline by 500 steps each day.

Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Change in Mean Daily Step Count From the Baseline Step Count During Two Days After the Surgery to the Hospital Discharge
- timeFrame
- From baseline step count after a two-day run-in period after the surgery to the time of hospital discharge postoperatively. As the time to discharge was variable, this time period was up to 60 days after surgery
