Your fitbit could warn doctors of dangerous side effects

NCT ID NCT03971266

Summary

This study tested if data from fitness trackers (like Fitbits) could provide a better, more objective way to measure how well cancer patients are functioning. Researchers wanted to see if this data could predict which patients in early-stage drug trials were most likely to experience serious side effects or need to stop treatment early. Participants wore a tracker and reported symptoms via a smartphone app for up to six months.
