This study is looking at how well older patients (65 years and up) who are having thoracic surgery (surgery on the chest area) can use a Fitbit to track their daily steps before their operation. The main goal is to see if you are willing to wear a Fitbit Inspire and keep a log of your steps for one week. This will help researchers understand if this is a good way to measure activity before surgery. The study will track your step rate using the Fitbit and your diary, and how many people return the tracker and log. About 30 people are expected to join this study.

Study design

This is a feasibility study, meaning it's the first time researchers are trying this approach. It involves about 30 participants.

What's involved

You would wear a Fitbit Inspire and keep a daily log of your steps for one week. A study team member will call you during this week to check on your progress. After one week, you will return the Fitbit and your log.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Your step tracking, diary, and return rate will be measured at 1 week.
