Wearable Device-Based Intervention for Promoting Patient Physical Activity After Lung Cancer Surgery: A Nonrandomized Clinical Trial

Wearable Device-Based Intervention for Promoting Patient Physical Activity After Lung Cancer Surgery: A Nonrandomized Clinical Trial

Summary

Wearable devices can help lung cancer patients recover faster after surgery. This study looked at how using a wearable device affected physical activity, lung function, and quality of life after surgery.

Key Findings

Patients using the wearable device showed improvements in daily steps, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, and reduced symptoms like dyspnea and pain compared to those receiving usual care.

Practical Solutions

Integrating wearable devices in post-surgery care can lead to personalized rehabilitation strategies, enhancing patient recovery and overall well-being.

Value

Using wearable devices in perioperative exercise interventions can improve physical activity levels and quality of life for lung cancer patients, showing promise for personalized rehabilitation approaches.
