Summary
This study tracks the activity levels of 200 bone marrow transplant patients using wearable devices. Researchers want to see if being more active before and during the hospital stay is linked to shorter hospital stays, better quality of life, and stronger hand grip. The goal is to understand barriers to activity and design ways to help patients stay active during recovery.
