What Makes Clovo Different from Other Digital Health Platforms
Clovo is purpose-built for surgical and cancer patients. Here is why that makes it fundamentally different from every other digital health platform on the market.
The Physical Benefits of Prehabilitation: Movement, Strength and Stamina
Physical fitness before surgery is not a luxury. It is one of the strongest modifiable predictors of surgical outcomes, and the evidence for structured physical prehabilitation is now substantial across every major surgical...
How Clovo Scales Prehabilitation Across Entire Patient Populations
Prehabilitation works. The problem is delivering it to every patient who needs it. Here is how Clovo makes that possible at population scale.
How AI is Changing Patient Recovery
Artificial intelligence is already changing how surgical and cancer patients recover. This post examines what AI-powered recovery means in practice and what the evidence shows.
Prehabilitation for Cancer Surgery: What Patients Need to Know
Cancer surgery patients face a physiological and psychological burden unlike any other surgical pathway. Learn why prehabilitation matters most here, and what the evidence shows.
Why 90% of Surgical Patients Miss Out on Prehabilitation
Fewer than 10% of surgical patients who need prehabilitation actually receive it. We examine why the access gap exists, who it affects most, and how digital delivery is changing that.
The Role of Mental Health in Surgical Recovery
Pre-operative anxiety affects up to 80% of surgical patients and directly impacts recovery. Learn how psychological preparation reduces complications and supports better outcomes.
How Nutrition Supports Surgical Recovery
Nutrition is one of the most modifiable determinants of surgical outcome. Learn how nutritional optimisation before and after surgery reduces complications and supports faster recovery.
Prehabilitation vs Rehabilitation: What’s the Difference?
Prehabilitation prepares patients before surgery; rehabilitation supports recovery after. Understanding the difference is essential for designing better surgical pathways.
The Evidence Behind Prehabilitation: What the Research Actually Says
Prehabilitation research shows mixed but promising evidence. Studies suggest it may reduce complications and hospital stay, but results vary due to study quality, design differences, and limited large trials.
What is Prehabilitation? A Complete Guide for Surgical Patients
Prehabilitation (“prehab”) prepares patients for treatment by improving fitness, nutrition, and mental wellbeing before surgery to reduce complications and support recovery.
