About this study

This study aims to help patients recover faster after colorectal cancer surgery by using wearable devices to monitor early movement.

Patients will wear a lightweight wristband that tracks heart rate, sleep, and daily steps after surgery. The goal is to find out if early walking can reduce the chances of complications, shorten hospital stays, and lower medical costs.

Read more

Participants will start wearing the device after surgery and continue for about 7 days or until they leave the hospital. During this time, they will also fill out a simple daily observation form. Participation is voluntary, and patients can withdraw at any time without affecting their care.

The study hopes to provide new ways to improve recovery and offer better support to patients after colorectal surgery.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Postoperative Colorectal Cancer Patients with Wearable Device MonitoringPatients diagnosed with colorectal cancer who underwent minimally invasive surgery. Participants wore a wrist-worn device to monitor postoperative physical activity, heart rate, and sleep for up to 7 days or until discharge.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Hospital Length of Stay

    The number of calendar days from the date of colorectal surgery to the date of hospital discharge, recorded from the hospital electronic medical record.

    Measured: Through hospital discharge (an average of 7 days after surgery)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Postoperative Complications (Clavien-Dindo classification)

    The occurrence and severity of postoperative complications during hospitalization, graded using the Clavien-Dindo classification system based on medical record review.

    Measured: Postoperative Day 30

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colorectal Cancer, run by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Taiwan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Hospital Length of Stay (time frame: Through hospital discharge (an average of 7 days after surgery)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Dec 2025.
