Remote monitoring of cancer patients can improve their recovery after surgery, a new study says.
People whose health team tracked their symptoms remotely wound up recovering more quickly from surgery, researchers reported in the journal npj Digital Medicine.
"The first two weeks after discharge are critical," researcher Tracy Crane pointed out in a news release.
"[Remote] care helps bridge the gap between hospital and home, catching issues early and supporting recovery," added Crane, director of lifestyle medicine, prevention and digital health at the University of Miami's Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center.
