Smart patch and app aim to boost lung recovery after cancer surgery
NCT ID NCT07733492
First seen Jul 29, 2026 · Last updated Jul 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a wireless wearable monitor (chest patch or wristband) plus a smartphone-based rehab program can help people recover lung function after surgery for non-small cell lung cancer. Participants who have had curative-intent surgery will either receive standard care or add the wearable device and a 90-day home rehab plan with exercise, symptom tracking, and remote feedback. The main goal is to see if the intervention improves a key measure of lung function (FEV1) three months after surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Wireless wearable vital sign and activity monitor and digital postoperative rehabilitation program
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this approach could offer a more effective, convenient way for lung cancer patients to recover lung function at home after surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-center trial with 126 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The wearable devices and app may be difficult for some patients to use, and the program adds complexity to standard care.
