Core Tip This cross-sectional study of 126 postoperative gastrointestinal surgery patients found moderately low cognition of digital out-of-hospital health monitoring (mean score 3.02 ± 0.43), characterized by value cognition exceeding basic cognition. Smartphone experience and health app use independently predicted cognition, suggesting that digital contact experience outweighs demographic characteristics. Pervasive concerns regarding data accuracy and privacy security hindered the transition from perceived usefulness to actual utilization. Stratified health education and technology optimization are essential to bridge this gap.
