Sharp Health Companion App for Cataract Surgery Preparation and Recovery

Participants received paper-based instructions for perioperative care, including medication, fasting, and follow-up logistics. Automated phone calls were sent before surgery to reinforce preparation. Participants used a printed checklist to self-report eye drop adherence.

The Sharp Health Companion App delivered interactive digital perioperative checklists, medication adherence prompts, COVID-19 protocol reminders, symptom tracking, and educational videos via iPhone. Participants logged their medication use in real time on the Sharp Health Companion App. Printed instructions were provided as a backup.
