Incorporating Biometric Data for Patients Receiving Concurrent Chemotherapy & RT

Sponsor: UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center

Summary

This study will assess the feasibility of incorporating biometric data via wearable health technology (WHT) into the radiation oncology (RO) clinic workflow for patients receiving concurrent radiation therapy and systemic therapy (CRT) for cancer. The investigators hypothesize that a practical workflow could be created within a busy community RO practice that will allow providers and patients to readily appreciate physiologic declines during concurrent CRT. Subjects will be asked to wear a device as part of this study that will collect their biometric data (heart rate, number of steps taken per day, etc) called a WHT device throughout their treatment and for 4 weeks afterward. Subjects will be asked to upload the data from their devices onto the computers in the clinic for the assessment.
