Description

Summary

This study is being done to collect patient generated health data to predict the risk of patients needing emergency department visits or hospitalization before, during. and after receiving radiation therapy.

Official Title

Wearable Activity Tracking to Curb Hospitalizations (WATCH)

Details

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. Validate a previously developed step-count model for predicting all-cause acute care (pooled across all devices).

OUTLINE: This is an observational study. Participants are assigned to 1 of 2 groups.

GROUP I: Participants receive Fitbit device and undergo non-interventional, standard of care, radiation therapy.

GROUP II: Participants receive Fitbit device and utilize their own personal Apple HealthKit-based device and and undergo non-interventional, standard of care, radiation therapy.
