Meij et al. (2016) conducted a systematic review in Patients undergoing surgery. Perioperative e-health interventions vs. Usual care (face-to-face perioperative care) was evaluated on Patient-related outcome measures focusing on the postoperative course. Perioperative e-health interventions led to similar or improved clinical patient-related outcomes compared to usual care in 92.6% of the 27 included studies.
