Ready4OP

The Ready4Op App is an educational tool for patients before major surgeries. These can be cancer surgery in the abdomen, the thorax, the breast, or others. Major surgeries also can be bariatric surgeries for obese people, or major hernia repairs after surgeries in the past.
If you have a different kind of surgery, you can of course use the app too!

With the Ready4Op App we want to inform you in an evidence-based fashion about a lot of things that are not always clear for you when you talk to your surgeons for the first time and your GPs or other medical specialists may not be able to cover completely.

As we are a specialist team of academic surgeons and anesthetists with together more than 50 years of clinical experience in major surgery and anesthesia, we empower you with 9 categories and 52 subcategories for a better knowledge about medical reports and a better communication with your medical specialists. This includes information about how you can prepare optimally during the weeks before your surgery (prehabilitation) and how things may be in the hospital and thereafter.

We want you to be prepared for your personal marathon - and major surgery with everything going along is comparable to a marathon. Be the best version of yourself to get through this with as little problems as possible.
We do not use gendered language for easier reading. To be specific our company stands for diversity, tolerance, and equality of all creatures.

The Ready4OP app includes evidence-based textbook knowledge. At no time does the app or its content make a diagnosis or provide treatment recommendations prior to surgery. It is not intended to make any medical recommendation or add recommendations to already medically justified and guideline-based or individual therapy regimens. Be sure to discuss your concerns with your treating doctor before making any medical decision for yourself.
