Integrated wearable-based perioperative care for NSCLC patients undergoing thoracic surgery

Official title: The Construction and Clinical Application of an Integrated Perioperative Management System for Lung Cancer Based on Wearable Devices and Intelligent Platforms

Run by West China Hospital · NCT07310056 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether a wearable-enabled digital perioperative rehab program improves recovery for adults with NSCLC having thoracic surgery compared with standard care.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults 18–85 with pathologically confirmed NSCLC scheduled for elective thoracoscopic lobectomy or segmentectomy who can operate a smartphone and wearable device or have caregiver assistance.

Probably not a fit

Patients with severe cardiopulmonary disease, oxygen dependence, or other conditions limiting rehabilitation may not benefit from the intervention.

What this trial studies

This randomized, single-center trial will enroll adults with NSCLC scheduled for elective VATS lobectomy or segmentectomy. Participants are assigned to receive either standard perioperative care plus a digital, wearable-supported rehabilitation program or standard care alone. The intervention includes prehabilitation with aerobic, respiratory muscle, and resistance training, plus continuous perioperative monitoring and home-based digital rehabilitation guided by wearable devices and remote platforms. Outcomes focus on short-term postoperative pulmonary function, functional recovery, and clinical results. The study aims to validate an integrated wearable-based perioperative management system in a real-world setting at a single center.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, patients may experience faster recovery, better lung function after surgery, and improved overall perioperative outcomes.

How similar studies have gone: Previous work has shown that digital rehabilitation and wearable monitoring can support perioperative care, but this exact integrated, randomized approach in NSCLC surgery is novel and has limited precedent.

Inclusion Criteria:

* Age ≥18 years and ≤85 years
* Pathologically confirmed primary non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
