Evaluating the impact of Hoopicoach: A digital health tool for supporting patients through gynecologic surgery.
Observational study in International journal of gynaecology and obstetrics: the official organ of the International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveHoopicoach is a digital health tool designed to support patients throughout all stages of gynecologic surgery, including pre-, intra-, and postoperative phases. It offers a personalized care pathway based on the type of surgery, providing reliable medical information through easily understandable content, diagrams, a chatbot, and videos produced by medical staff. The present study aimed to evaluate patient and caregiver usage and satisfaction with Hoopicoach, focusing on frequency of use, satisfaction, stress management, and patient understanding of surgery. Additionally, the study assessed the tool's value for healthcare professionals.
methodsA pilot, observational, descriptive, single-center cohort study was conducted in a gynecologic and breast cancer surgery department from September 2020 to May 2022. The referring surgeon offered Hoopicoach to all patients scheduled for applicable surgeries. Self-administered questionnaires were completed by patients and caregivers.
resultsA total of 79 patients participated, primarily aged 40-65 years, with most usage occurring before surgery, particularly among those undergoing partial mastectomies. High satisfaction was reported, with 93.7% willing to recommend Hoopicoach. A total of 89% rated their understanding of surgery as 4 or 5 (on a 5-point scale), and 80% felt all their questions were answered. Frequent use correlated with reduced stress, though was not statistically significant. Among 16 caregivers, 94% found Hoopicoach helpful for informing patients, and 87% believed it enhanced care quality.
conclusionHoopicoach effectively supports patients throughout their surgical journey in gynecology, with high satisfaction reported by both patients and caregivers.
