About AthleticsMD

Built by clinicians, for clinicians.

MyPrehab was founded on a simple premise: the evidence for prehabilitation is overwhelming, but the tools to deliver it at scale don't exist. We built them.

Trusted by 5,000+ patients & clinicians
The three pillars

What prehabilitation addresses

Physical conditioning pillar — Stronger before you go under
Physical conditioning

Stronger before you go under

Aerobic conditioning and resistance training calibrated to your DASI-estimated VO₂peak and time-to-surgery window.

Nutrition pillar — Nutrition that primes recovery
Nutrition

Nutrition that primes recovery

MUST nutritional screening and protein targets aligned with ESPEN 2017 perioperative nutrition guidelines.

Mental readiness pillar — Mental readiness before the OR
Mental readiness

Mental readiness before the OR

Mindset check-ins, anxiety screening, and AI-coached preparation to arrive at surgery psychologically ready.

Our mission

The evidence is clear. The tools weren't.

Perioperative complications are largely preventable. Decades of peer-reviewed research show that patients who arrive at surgery in better aerobic, nutritional, and psychological condition experience fewer complications, shorter hospital stays, and faster recoveries.

Yet prehabilitation remains underutilized — not because surgeons don't believe in it, but because the infrastructure to screen, prescribe, and monitor patients at scale simply hasn't existed. MyPrehab closes that gap.

Every risk score is computed deterministically from validated instruments. Every prescription is traceable to peer-reviewed literature. Every outcome prediction is grounded in published data — not a black-box model.

Evidence-first

No recommendation ships without a peer-reviewed citation. The AI coach explains; it never calculates.

Clinician-designed

Built with and for surgeons, anesthesiologists, and perioperative nurses — not around them.

Patient-centered

Plain-language coaching, visual progress tracking, and a future-self projection that makes the stakes real.

Transparent

Every score, every weight, every citation is visible and auditable. No black boxes in clinical decision support.

Design of HOOS/KOOS Jr. joint-specific PROMs, TUG fall-risk integration, and resistance training progressions for joint replacement patients.

B

Bariatric & General Surgery

Nutrition & Metabolic Optimization

MUST nutritional screening protocols, OS-MRS bariatric risk scoring, and perioperative nutrition targets aligned with ESPEN 2017 guidelines.

O

Oncologic Surgery

Oncology Prehab & Performance Status

ECOG performance status integration, Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI), and G8 geriatric screening for oncology patients.

E

Exercise Physiology

Aerobic & IMT Protocol Design

DASI-to-VO₂peak conversion, aerobic conditioning progressions, and inspiratory muscle training protocols based on Valkenet et al. 2011.

Methodology

Methodology

How MyPrehab computes risk and generates prescriptions.

01

Deterministic scoring

All nine universal instruments are scored using published algorithms — no machine learning, no proprietary weighting. The same inputs always produce the same output.

02

Composite index construction

Domain scores are normalized and combined into a 100-point Preop Risk Score using a weighted sum derived from the relative predictive validity of each instrument in the perioperative literature.

03

Prescription generation

The prescription engine maps risk domain scores to evidence-based intervention bundles. Aerobic targets derive from DASI-estimated VO₂peak; IMT protocols from Valkenet et al.; nutrition from ESPEN 2017.

04

Outcome prediction

Length of stay, 30-day mortality, complication probability, and discharge disposition are estimated using published specialty-specific models (STS, ACS-NSQIP proxies, Thoracoscore).

05

AI narration layer

Claude explains the plan in plain language and answers patient questions. It has no access to the scoring engine and cannot modify prescriptions — it only narrates and motivates.
