Using a step-tracking device to improve recovery after lung surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether tracking daily steps with a wearable and app can help people recover better after lung surgery (especially a lobectomy). You may be asked to wear a device and follow a recovery plan while your activity is monitored.
