In adults recovering from stomach cancer surgery, standard nutritional education produces the same results in preventing weight loss and maintaining nutritional status as a personalized digital intervention.

See the scientific wording

Standard nutritional education alone is as effective as a personalized digital intervention in preventing postoperative weight loss and maintaining nutritional status in adults recovering from curative gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

Why this might work

After stomach surgery, the body adjusts how it uses food by slowing down energy use and increasing how efficiently it absorbs nutrients from what is eaten. This lets people keep their weight and nutrition even without extra help from apps or personalized plans, as long as they eat enough.

  1. Study: Effectiveness of a Personalized Digital Exercise and Nutrition Rehabilitation Program in Postoperative Patients With Gastric Cancer: Randomized Controlled Trial

    After stomach cancer surgery, people who got just basic diet advice did just as well in keeping their weight and nutrition as those who used a fancy app with personalized plans. The app was liked but didn’t help more than simple advice.
