Globally, more than 300 million surgeries are performed annually - and a growing proportion involve older and frail patients who face significantly higher risks of postoperative complications. Frailty, sarcopenia, and comorbidities heighten the chances of infections, delayed wound healing, ICU stays, readmissions, loss of independence, and even mortality. Yet, despite strong clinical evidence showing that targeted prehabilitation can reduce major complications by up to 30%, shorten hospital stays by 20%, and cut healthcare costs by up to 20%, there is still no widely implemented, scalable, digital solution to support this vulnerable population. Motus Health closes this critical gap with an evidence-based digital platform tailored specifically for the prehabilitation of frail patients. Our mobile app and clinical dashboard enable personalized care pathways, validated assessments, daily symptom tracking, and seamless communication between patients and physicians. Proven benefits of our approach include faster functional recovery, improved mental wellbeing, reduced discharge to nursing homes, better patient satisfaction, and fewer emergency interventions post-surgery. We are redefining how surgical preparation is delivered to frail patients, moving from reactive to proactive, from fragmented to integrated, and from risky to resilient.
