Development and pilot implementation of a novel remote patient monitoring program for cancer patients initiating cancer-directed therapy: the SHIELD (Smart health integration for early life-saving detection)
NCT ID NCT07810400
First seen Sep 09, 2026 · Last updated Sep 09, 2026
Summary
This clinical trial develops and studies whether using a new remote patient monitoring (RPM) program \[Smart Health Integration for Early Life-saving Detection (SHIELD)\] in cancer practices helps manage infectious complications among cancer patients who are initiating systemic therapy. Infectious complications are among the most common, costly, and clinically consequential side effects experienced by patients receiving cancer-directed therapy and can lead to increased emergency department evaluations, reduced quality of life, and death. National guidelines support using management strategies within cancer practices for selected patients with infectious complications; however, implementation remains limited by the need for reliable monitoring programs while the patient is at home. The SHIELD program combines remote electronic patient-reported outcome symptom assessments with continuous temperature monitoring (CTM). Patients complete electronic patient-reported outcome symptom assessments on a mobile application and wear a CTM device. Patient responses and CTM data are integrated into the electronic health record, which can create alerts. Cancer practice clinical assistants and nurses review the alerts and create care escalation pathways to the clinical care team or emergency department if needed. The application can also deliver patient education and guidance for self-management of low-grade symptoms. Using the SHIELD program in cancer practices may be an effective way to help manage infectious complications among cancer patients who are initiating systemic therapy.
