A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Study to Evaluate the Impact of Remote Symptom Management Via Smartphone App Based on Electronic Patient-Reported Outcomes on Rehabilitation Exercise Adherence After Minimally Invasive Surgery in Lung Cancer Patients
Brief Summary: This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate whether active remote symptom monitoring and management via a smartphone app utilizing electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO) can improve adherence to prescribed outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation exercises among postsurgical lung cancer patients. Eligible patients will use the app for perioperative care and be randomized to an intervention group receiving ePRO-based symptom monitoring with clinician feedback or a control group receiving ePRO without feedback. The primary outcome is rehabilitation exercise adherence rate over 1 month after discharge. If proven effective, the app-enabled remote rehabilitation model can be scaled up to enhance recovery for more postoperative patients.
