Digital symptom alerts could transform Post-Surgery care
NCT ID NCT06075316
First seen Jul 16, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether having patients regularly report their symptoms through electronic surveys — with automatic alerts sent to their care team when responses are concerning — can improve recovery after major chest surgery. About 200 adults scheduled for thoracic surgery will participate. The goal is to see if this approach helps catch problems early and reduces complications and emergency visits.
