See the scientific wording

A digital rehabilitation program initiated within one week after gastrectomy is safe and feasible, with no adverse events reported over 12 months, even in patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Why this might work

Using a digital program to guide gentle movement and nutrition helps the body keep its energy levels stable and muscles active after stomach surgery, even when chemotherapy is happening. This keeps the body from breaking down too much and prevents complications.
