Sensor-Assisted Prevention of Dehydration in Head and Neck Cancer Patients
Sponsor: M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
Summary
The goal of this research study is to learn if home-use of devices to identify dehydration risk, when added to standard care, will help to lower hospitalizations and emergency room visits (and related costs) in patients with head and neck cancer. CYCORE is a software-based system that enables comprehensive collection, storage and analysis of information related to cancer research and clinical care. In this study, those in the CYCORE group use devices at home to measure their dehydration risk. This information is monitored by their clinicians. Those in the standard care group complete health based surveys, as do those in the CYCORE group.
