This clinical trial studies the effectiveness of a home-based exercise and nutrition monitoring program called Pt Pal in improving strength in patients with pancreatic or stomach cancer receiving chemoradiation therapy before surgery. Pt Pal is a mobile health technology used to facilitate communication between the care team and the patient/caregiver, by allowing the care team to send from their web-portal, exercise routines, activities of daily living, diet recommendations, surveys and educational material to the patient/caregiver's mobile device. The Pt Pal application (app) then captures the patient/caregiver activity adherence data and reports those results back to the care team. The Pt Pal program may help improve overall strength in patients undergoing surgery for pancreatic and stomach cancer relative to standard care.
