Summary

The objective of this work is the production of actionable insights that can be leveraged to improve remote symptom monitoring (RSM) in varied practice settings, which in turn, is expected to improve timely, efficient, and high-quality comprehensive care in oncology. Aim 1: To assess the feasibility of incorporating a wearable into an RSM program for patients receiving cancer treatment. Aim 2: To assess the relationship between the wearable and ePRO-reported physical symptoms and functional status. Aim 3: To characterize barriers and facilitators of using the wearable in the RSM program and suggest approaches to incorporating relevant evidence-based interventions.

Detailed description

Remote symptom monitoring (RSM) using electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePROs) benefits patients with cancer on active treatment (i.e., improved symptom assessment efficiency, patient-clinician communication and satisfaction, symptom control and well-being, overall survival). Despite promising RSM results, low sustained adherence and the limited amount of symptom information that can be feasibly captured through surveys limit RSM benefits. Passive data collection through wearable technology may strengthen RSM benefits by providing a more complete and continuous picture of patient health, without substantial patient and system burden. For this investigation, we leverage our existing RSM infrastructure to test the integration of a wearable for enhanced monitoring.
