AI app to monitor and support nutrition after pancreatic cancer surgery
Official title: Evaluation of a Combined PGHD-AI Intelligent Model for the Nutritional Assessment and Intervention of Patients After Radical Surgery for Pancreatic Cancer.
Run by Shanghai General Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine · NCT07167264 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This will test whether an AI app that collects symptoms, photos, and patient-reported data can help detect nutritional risk and guide support for people after radical pancreatic cancer surgery.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults 18–80 who have fully recovered from radical pancreatic cancer resection, have ECOG 0–1, can use an app and attend follow-up visits, and who consent to participate.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with metastatic or recurrent disease, severe organ dysfunction, pregnancy or breastfeeding, a history of other recent cancers, or those unable or unwilling to use the app are unlikely to benefit.

What this trial studies
This is a prospective, randomized controlled exploratory trial enrolling 200 adults who have recovered from radical pancreatic cancer surgery. Participants are stratified by age, gender, TNM stage, ECOG score, and baseline BMI and randomized to an intervention arm using a PGHD‑AI app plus routine offline follow-up or to routine outpatient follow-up alone. The app collects patient-reported outcomes (strength, pain, bowel function, appetite, weight), corpus collection cards, and facial photographs to derive PGHD phenotypes, which are used to train AI agents to predict nutritional risk and propose interventions. The study follows participants for one year to compare prediction accuracy, intervention responses, and feasibility of AI‑guided nutritional management.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the tool could enable earlier, personalized nutritional support and more efficient follow-up to improve recovery and quality of life after pancreatic cancer surgery.
How similar studies have gone: Digital health and AI approaches using patient-reported data have shown early promise in monitoring nutrition or recovery in other cancer settings, but applying PGHD‑AI for post‑pancreatectomy nutritional management is largely novel and unproven.
