NCT ID NCT06129760

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study explores whether an Apple Watch can track walking, heart rate, breathing, and sleep in people with glioblastoma, a serious brain cancer. The goal is to see if the watch can detect symptom changes before they become serious, like seizures or blood clots. Twenty-five patients will wear the watch and report symptoms over six months.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to tools that predict complications like seizures or blood clots in glioblastoma patients before they happen.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early study with only 25 participants and is currently suspended. The Apple Watch may not reliably detect changes, and results may not apply to all patients.
