PreActiv is an innovative digital platform delivering dynamic, individualised prehabilitation programmes to optimise patients before surgery. By physically and mentally preparing individuals for the pro-inflammatory stress of surgery, PreActiv enhances recovery, reduces complications, and shortens hospital stays. Developed by a multidisciplinary team, our high-intensity interval training (HIIT) style exercise programmes, combined with multimodal prehabilitation modules, including nutrition, smoking and alcohol cessation and mindfulness, are tailored to surgery dates. Continuously adapting to patient progress, maximising the effectiveness of prehabilitation.
PreActiv offers a scalable, highly cost-effective solution to prehabilitation, overcoming logistical and financial barriers that have traditionally limited its adoption. By harnessing technology, the platform enables patients to engage in individualised, proactive care over an extended period, rather than just in the immediate preoperative phase. This approach allows enrollment from the point of surgical booking, rather than waiting for preoperative assessment, leveraging long wait periods to optimise patients, and improving surgical outcomes.
Aligned with NHS England’s perioperative care guidance and the UK government’s Elective Reform Plan, PreActiv presents a sustainable solution for reducing surgical complications and length of hospital stays. By widening access to effective prehabilitation, PreActiv directly addresses health inequalities, enhancing patient outcomes while also supporting healthcare systems in delivering cost-efficient, high-quality care at scale.
