Tablet computer

Patients randomized to the intervention group will receive a tablet computer with an app-like software solution supporting nutrition and physical activity. The patients operate the computer and order their meals from the hospital menu; register dietary intake, and receive feedback informing about their current status for protein and energy intake. Likewise, the patients use small series of brief videos instructing in daily life activities for strengthening their muscles. After this, they register their performed activities and will receive informing and motivating feedback. Nudging and prompting is part of the solution.
