This study, called the AIRTECH Study, is looking at how walking and sleeping habits affect recovery after surgery for lung cancer. Researchers want to understand if walking more after surgery can lead to fewer or less severe complications. You would either receive usual care, or usual care plus a Fitbit to track your steps. The main goal is to see if there's a difference in complications (measured by the Clavien-Dindo postoperative morbidity score) up to 30 days after surgery. This information could help doctors find new ways to improve recovery and quality of life for patients like you after lung cancer surgery. The study plans to enroll 240 participants.

Study design

This is an interventional study that will randomly assign participants to one of three groups: usual care, usual care with a Fitbit, or usual care with a Fitbit and the Fitbit app. The study plans to enroll 240 participants.

What's involved

Participants will either receive usual care or use a Fitbit to monitor step count, and some will also install and use the Fitbit app. The study also involves quality-of-life assessments and questionnaires.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

The primary outcome, postoperative morbidity, is measured up to 30 days after surgery.
