About
Alicia Perkins is a leading researcher in thoracic surgical oncology, with a focus on enhancing perioperative care through digital health innovation. Her work centers on patient engagement, adherence, and satisfaction in lung cancer surgery, particularly through the implementation of mobile health platforms. In her highly cited 2020 study, which has garnered 68 citations, Perkins pioneered the use of a mobile device application to collect patient-reported outcomes (PROs) following robotic lung cancer surgery. This research demonstrated that active patient engagement via digital tools can significantly improve the perioperative experience, offering a scalable solution to monitor recovery and enhance communication between patients and clinicians. By integrating technology into surgical care, Perkins has contributed to a paradigm shift toward patient-centered, data-driven recovery pathways. Her work is widely recognized for bridging the gap between surgical precision and holistic patient management, making her a key figure in the evolution of thoracic surgery. Perkins’ research continues to influence how surgeons leverage mobile platforms to optimize outcomes, reduce complications, and empower patients in their own care.
