Systematic Review of Wearable Technologies for Recovery Monitoring in Lung Cancer Surgery

Xiang Lin authored a systematic review titled 'Wearable technologies for perioperative recovery monitoring in lung cancer surgery: a systematic review of feasibility, recovery outcomes, and evidence certainty'. The review, registered in PROSPERO (CRD420261325339), analyzed eight reports from seven cohorts published between 1996 and 2026. It synthesizes evidence on the feasibility and outcomes of using wearable devices for monitoring patients undergoing lung cancer surgery.

Use Cases

• Assessing the feasibility of wearable devices for continuous patient monitoring based on the review's narrative synthesis.
• Evaluating associations between perioperative step counts and recovery outcomes based on findings from observational studies.
• Hypothesis generation for clinical trial design based on the review's analysis of evidence certainty and heterogeneity.

Strengths

• The review follows PRISMA 2020 guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO (CRD420261325339).
• It includes eight reports representing seven independent cohorts, including randomized trials and observational studies.
• Specific results are cited, such as a reduction in prolonged hospital stay from 24% to 7% in one RCT.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 29.4 KB DOCX document, indicating a limited scope focused on review text rather than raw data.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The evidence base is described as sparse, heterogeneous, and often indirect, limiting definitive conclusions.
