Perioperative Telemonitoring to Optimize Cancer Care and Outcomes
Running, not enrolling · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Malignant Digestive System Neoplasm
In brief
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.

- Cancer patients scheduled to undergo major abdominal surgery for gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies. GI procedures include esophagectomy, gastrectomy, colectomy, abdominoperineal resection/low anterior resection, hepatectomy, pancreatectomy (distal or pancreaticoduodenectomy), and cytoreductive surgery for peritoneal carcinomatosis. We will include patients scheduled for an ostomy (colostomy or diverting ileostomy)
- Age 18 years or older
- Ability to read and understand English or Spanish
- We are targeting patients across all stages of disease
- Age criterion for this study is based on the National Institute of Health (NIH)'s age criteria, which defines an adult as individuals aged 18 years and over. There are no restrictions related to performance status or life expectancy
- All subjects must have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent
