First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a smartphone app that tracks symptoms and gives feedback can help lung cancer patients do their prescribed rehab exercises after minimally invasive surgery. About 736 patients will use the app and be randomly assigned to get symptom alerts with clinician advice or just use the app without feedback. The goal is to see if the app improves exercise adherence and reduces complications.

Active substance

smartphone app for remote symptom management

What this could lead to

If it works, this could provide a simple, scalable way to help lung cancer patients recover better after surgery by improving exercise adherence.

What could go wrong

This is a single-center trial with an interim analysis due to slow recruitment, so results may not apply broadly. The app's benefit depends on patient engagement and clinician response.
