Abstract
Providing patients with tools to increase self-efficacy and understanding of their own personal experience of health is crucial for a more positive healing journey after surgery. This paper introduces a solution to the lack of education and stress reduction support surrounding surgery by proposing a mobile application addressing pre- and post-surgery self-care through a holistic lens. The content of this mobile app, called Preparing the Body, Preparing the Mind, includes modalities to address stress reduction for patients during the perioperative period.
