Rehabilitation With Wearable Monitors for Post-Lung Cancer Surgery

A Clinical Trial of Postoperative Rehabilitation for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Based on Wireless Wearable Mobile Monitoring Devices

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 2 Sept 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This is a prospective, open-label, parallel-group, 1:1 randomized controlled trial evaluating whether a wireless wearable mobile monitoring device combined with a digital rehabilitation program improves pulmonary function at 90 days postoperatively in patients undergoing curative-intent lobectomy or segmentectomy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Eligible participants will be randomized to either the intervention group or the control group. Both groups receive standard postoperative rehabilitation education. The intervention group additionally receives a wearable device (chest patch or wristband) for continuous monitoring of SpO₂, heart rate, respiratory rate, and physical activity, along with a smartphone-based digital rehabilitation program including individualized exercise prescriptions (aerobic, resistance, and inspiratory muscle training), daily symptom diaries, and remote feedback with threshold-triggered alerts for up to 90 days after discharge. The control group receives standard rehabilitation education with routine follow-up. The primary endpoint is the between-group difference in FEV1% predicted at postoperative day 90, analyzed using ANCOVA adjusted for baseline FEV1% predicted. Secondary endpoints include FVC% predicted, 6-minute walk distance, daily step count, SpO₂ \<90% time burden, quality of life (EORTC QLQ-C30/LC13, mMRC), 90-day readmission and emergency visit rates, and safety outcomes. A total of 126 participants (63 per group) will be enrolled. The study is being conducted at West China Hospital of Sichuan University from June 2026 to October 2027.
