Core Tip	Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) together with laparoscopic surgery improves clinical outcomes in patients post-operatively. Prehabilitation is gaining evidence as a further method of enhancing post-operative recovery. Pre-operative programmes to improve physical function have been used and we review this early literature as well as some current issues within ERAS. Technology, which is already in use in the peri-operative period for interventions and monitoring could be used to further complement ERAS. Small, non-invasive devices which can monitor activity levels could help monitor compliance and post-operative patient activity levels as well as act as an intervention to encourage patients to increase their physical activity and thereby their post-operative outcomes.
