Summary

This study tested a digital breathing exercise device and phone app to see if they help patients do their breathing exercises after lung surgery. 31 adults who had lung surgery used the device, which tracked their breaths and sent data to a secure system. The goal was to see if reminders, game-like features, and progress tracking improve how often and how consistently patients use the spirometer.
