Summary

This study tests whether artificial intelligence-assisted breathing exercises can reduce pain, fatigue, and improve breathing in 111 patients recovering from open heart surgery. Participants will follow an AI-generated video to perform rhythmic breathing for three days. Researchers will measure changes in pain, fatigue, oxygen levels, and breathing rate.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a simple, non-drug way to help people recover more comfortably after open heart surgery.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study. The breathing exercise may not significantly improve outcomes, and results may not apply to all patients.
