However, the use of AI RPM for identifying health deteriorations in patients following major surgical procedures remains underexplored.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objective<\/jats:title>\n This exploratory analysis of a prospective trial aims to assess how AI RPM can enhance the predictive performance of 35-month post\u2013radical cystectomy (RC) mortality risk. Our approach highlights the importance of RPM features in improving prediction accuracy and provides interpretable model outputs to enhance clinical understanding and transparency.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n We used patient data from a multicenter RC trial conducted in the United Kingdom for model training and validation. Two gradient-boosted machine learning models were developed: one using only clinical-pathological (CP) features and another incorporating both CP and remote patient monitoring (RPM) features (CP+RPM). RPM features are measured by wrist-worn pedometers and surveys. The predictive accuracy of the CP+RPM model was compared with both the CP model and a clinically used nomogram, both of which relied solely on traditional clinical features. We used 200 bootstrap iterations, with 70% of the data used for training and 30% for testing. Shapley Additive Explanations were applied to interpret model results and provide insights into the relative importance of features, improving transparency and understanding of the predictions.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n A total of 252 patients (33 deaths) from 9 UK centers were included in the analysis. We examined 108 RPM features and 24 CP features for model training. In correlation analysis, only 9 CP features showed coefficients larger than 0.1, compared with 36 RPM features with stronger correlations. The CP+RPM model achieved an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.77, reflecting a 9% and 10% absolute (13% and 15% relative) improvement over the CP and nomogram models, respectively. Similarly, it outperformed in terms of the area under the precision-recall curve, with a score of 0.44, marking a 6% and 17% absolute (16% and 63% relative) increase compared with the CP and nomogram model. Shapley Additive Explanations analysis revealed that the most significant contributors to mortality prediction were mobility-related RPM features, such as the 30-second chair-to-stand test results and daily step count variance, which reflected the general activity levels of individuals.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Our study demonstrates that RPM features significantly enhance long-term survival prediction for post-RC patients, offering a valuable addition to traditional clinical data. The integration of AI with RPM enables more individualized and dynamic tracking of recovery, improving prediction accuracy and fostering a patient-centered care model that has the potential to be applied across a broader range of surgeries and conditions.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2196\/68994","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,18]],"date-time":"2026-01-18T21:50:07Z","timestamp":1768773007000},"page":"e68994-e68994","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Artificial Intelligence Remote Patient Monitoring for Predicting Overall Survival for Patients Undergoing Radical Cystectomy for Bladder Cancer: Exploratory Analysis of the Prospective Trial"],"prefix":"10.2196","volume":"5","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9618-5243","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yansong","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8769-5797","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pramit","family":"Khetrapal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8614-9276","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ronnie","family":"Strafford","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2069-9499","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adamos","family":"Hadjivasilou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3966-5734","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nikhil","family":"Vasdev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7775-2812","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Philip","family":"Charlesworth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1861-0830","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Muhamaad Shamim","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3536-4803","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ahmed","family":"Abdulaal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-5433-0179","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhaoyan","family":"Dong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2787-8828","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"James W F","family":"Catto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0840-6422","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yukun","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7036-1923","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"John D","family":"Kelly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3989-1715","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ivana","family":"Drobnjak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1010","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1","unstructured":"Chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgical tumour resections in England.
