01Risk assessment

Complete your risk screen

Answer a validated questionnaire covering cardiac risk, frailty, functional capacity, nutrition, pulmonary risk, VTE, cognitive status, and substance use. Takes 8–12 minutes. No account required for the free screen.

Nine validated instruments — RCRI, mFI-5, DASI, ARISCAT, Caprini, MUST, Mini-Cog, ASA Physical Status, and AUDIT-C — are scored automatically and combined into a single 100-point composite Preop Risk Score.

02Prescription engine

Receive your personalized prehab prescription

Based on your risk profile and time-to-surgery window (7–14 weeks), the prescription engine generates a multimodal plan: aerobic conditioning, resistance training, inspiratory muscle training (IMT), and nutrition targets.

All bundles are deterministic — the same inputs always produce the same evidence-based outputs. No black-box AI generates your exercise prescription; the AI coach only narrates and explains the plan in plain language.

03Exercise & IMT

Follow guided exercises and breathing protocols

Access a structured video library of aerobic, resistance, and inspiratory muscle training sessions. Each session is calibrated to your current readiness score and progresses week-over-week toward your surgery date.

IMT protocols are based on Valkenet et al. (Clin Rehabil 2011), which demonstrated ~50% reduction in postoperative pulmonary complications. Aerobic targets are derived from your DASI-estimated VO₂peak.

04Progress tracking

Track progress with your readiness dashboard

Log sessions, nutrition, and mindset check-ins daily. Your Readiness Score updates in real time across five domains: aerobic, resistance, breathing/IMT, nutrition, and mindset.

The dashboard surfaces trend lines, streak tracking, and domain-level breakdowns so you can see exactly where you're improving and where to focus next.

05AI coach

AI coach keeps you on track

Claude-powered coaching narrates your plan, answers questions about your exercises, and adapts encouragement to your progress. The coach explains the evidence behind every recommendation in plain language.

The AI coach never modifies your clinical prescription — it only explains and motivates. All score calculations remain deterministic and clinician-reviewable.

06Provider dashboard

Provider coordination & outcome prediction

Your provider receives a real-time dashboard showing your risk scores, readiness trajectory, predicted length of stay, 30-day mortality estimate, and discharge disposition — all exportable as PDF or FHIR-lite JSON.

Providers can generate preoperative instruction sets, review predicted testing requirements, and monitor all active patients from a single dashboard. Supports up to 250 active patients on the Practice tier.
