PostOpMonitor Postoperative Recovery Monitoring Software

Four connected steps from discharge to insight

1. Step 1: Onboard patients

   QR login and unique credentials get patients into the app in seconds—so recovery monitoring starts the day they leave the ward.

   • Quick onboarding via QR login
   • Unique credentials for every patient
   • Hospital-controlled access from day one

2. Step 2: Collect & survey

   Automated daily, weekly, or monthly surveys with patient reminders keep patients participating with minimal friction.

   • Customizable procedure-specific surveys
   • Daily, weekly or monthly schedules
   • Friendly mobile surveys and reminders

3. Step 3: Monitor & alert

   Visual reports and alerts flag stability or critical changes in real time, so risk is caught early instead of at the next appointment.

   • Visual reports and live monitoring
   • Early risk detection and clinical alerts
   • Stability and critical-change flags

4. Step 4: Review & decide

   Surgeons use pre-collected data and AI support to shorten consults, with a unified dashboard and reports in one place.

   • Unified surgeon dashboard and reports
   • Data collected before the consult
   • AI assistant that never exposes PII

Recovery phases

1. Phase 1: Discharge day

   Patients leave the ward already enrolled. QR login and unique credentials get them into the app in seconds, and the first survey is scheduled before they reach home.

   • Confirm contact and credentials
   • Baseline pain and mobility
   • Medication and wound-care instructions understood

   Survey rhythm: One baseline survey at discharge, then daily check-ins begin.

   Who reviews: Discharge nurse, Surgeon

   Escalation: Patient cannot complete onboarding or reports a concern at discharge.

2. Phase 2: The first week

   The highest-risk window. Short daily surveys with reminders keep patients participating, and the dashboard surfaces anyone trending the wrong way.

   • Pain level and wound appearance
   • Fever and medication adherence
   • Mobility and sleep

   Survey rhythm: Daily surveys with patient reminders every day.

   Who reviews: Surgeon, Care coordinator, Ward nurse

   Escalation: Pain rises, a fever is reported, or the wound looks worse—alerts reach the care team in real time.

3. Phase 3: Weeks two to four

   Recovery moves from watching for complications to tracking progress. Surveys shift to weekly rhythms focused on function and rehabilitation.

   • Range of motion and swelling
   • Rehabilitation exercises completed
   • Return to daily activities

   Survey rhythm: Weekly surveys, with a daily check only if something changes.

   Who reviews: Surgeon, Physiotherapist

   Escalation: Progress stalls for two weeks or function scores drop.

4. Phase 4: Month two and beyond

   Long-term outcomes. Monthly surveys give hospitals measurable results and a complete recovery history that any new team member can open instantly.

   • Return to work and normal life
   • Overall satisfaction
   • Late complications

   Survey rhythm: Monthly surveys feeding outcome reports.

   Who reviews: Surgeon, Quality team

   Escalation: A late complication or declining satisfaction is reported.
