Summary

This study tests whether a wearable device and digital platform can help people recover better after lung cancer surgery. About 126 patients with non-small cell lung cancer will either use the wearable system or receive standard care. The system tracks heart rate, oxygen levels, and activity, and guides patients through exercises before and after surgery. The goal is to see if it improves lung function and physical recovery compared to usual care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: wearable-based digital perioperative rehabilitation system
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a better way to recover lung function and physical fitness after lung cancer surgery, using home-based digital tools.
What could go wrong: This is an early-stage trial with only 126 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The technology depends on patients being able to use smartphones and wearables, which may limit its use.
