Home monitoring for patients after lung cancer surgery

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 trial evaluates the feasibility of using Biobeat digital monitoring for patients recovering from elective thoracic surgery. It involves a randomized controlled design where one group receives digital home monitoring while the other follows standard care without it. The study aims to determine if this approach can reduce unplanned emergency department visits and improve patients' quality of life during the four weeks post-surgery. The trial will also assess the logistics and recruitment feasibility for a larger future study.
