Perioperative Telemonitoring to Optimize Cancer Care and Outcomes (NCT04986566)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This study aims to see whether an at-home monitoring program that collects health, symptoms, and quality of life data in real-time can be included as part of the care of surgery patients in order to provide better recovery. Patient-generated health data (weight, temperature, oxygen level, heart rate, blood pressure, daily steps, symptoms, quality of life) using at-home monitoring devices (thermometer, a pulse oximeter, a digital scale and a Vivofit 4 watch) and smart device applications are used more and more to measure value and quality in cancer care. However, measuring patient-generated health data is not currently part of standard care following cancer surgery. An at-home monitoring program may improve the care of patients after hospital discharge from surgery and may help reduce complications by identifying issues early.
