Prehabilitation to improve heart rate variability before cancer surgery
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a personalized prehabilitation program, delivered via a smartphone app, can improve heart rate variability (a measure of nervous system health) in people preparing for major cancer surgery. Participation may help you recover better after surgery.
