Summary

This trial tests whether a structured telemedicine program — including wearable activity monitors, breathing exercises, and remote physiotherapy — can reduce urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy for localized prostate cancer. Two hundred men scheduled for surgery will be enrolled and followed to see if the program improves continence recovery, walking distance, balance, and muscle strength compared to standard care.

What this could mean

Active substance: a telemedicine-based prehabilitation and rehabilitation program using wearable devices and remote physiotherapy consultations
What this could lead to: If effective, this approach could offer a convenient, home-based way to speed up continence recovery and improve quality of life after prostate cancer surgery.
What could go wrong: This is a single-center trial, and results may not apply to all patients. The program relies on patient adherence and technology access, which could limit its real-world impact.
