Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This multicenter, prospective randomized trial compares AI-guided postoperative recovery management with usual care in adults recovering from lung cancer surgery. The AI system collects patient-reported symptoms, vital signs, activity, and rehabilitation data, and can include images or videos when needed, to provide feedback, reminders, and risk alerts. Primary aims are to assess safety and recovery outcomes, including symptom burden and adherence to rehabilitation. Eligible participants are adults who have undergone thoracic surgery for lung cancer and are clinically stable after surgery. The study will be conducted at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, with patients randomized to receive conventional Internet-based rehabilitation information plus the AI-guided system versus usual care alone.
