Phone app aims to keep lung cancer patients moving during treatment
NCT ID NCT07627022
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a smartphone reminder app can help lung cancer patients stay physically active during radiation therapy. About 32 adults with lung cancer will use the app or standard care, and their daily step counts will be compared. The goal is to see if simple digital reminders can improve activity levels during treatment.
