RESUMEN

Sarcopenia has been shown to cause poorer outcomes in surgical oncology. With the advancement of artificial intelligence technology, body composition analysis can be obtained with ease. Given the lead time between cancer diagnosis and surgery, selected patients at risk of complications secondary to sarcopenia may be amenable to prehabilitation. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the rapid adaptation of digital health and medical technology. Our perspective piece will review the current available evidence and propose innovative ways to incorporate technology into physical and nutritional prehabilitation.
