NCT ID NCT07588321
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a mobile app with videos and written guides, given before chest surgery, helps patients recover better. 128 adults scheduled for elective chest surgery were split into two groups: one used the app, the other got standard education. Researchers measured quality of life, physical capacity, anxiety, and hospital stay length after surgery.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that a simple smartphone app helps patients recover faster and feel less anxious after chest surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with 128 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The app's benefits may be modest or not better than standard education.
