First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether using simple devices like a thermometer, pulse oximeter, scale, and activity watch at home can help people recover after major cancer surgery. About 134 adults with digestive system cancers will track their weight, temperature, oxygen, heart rate, steps, symptoms, and quality of life for 30 days after leaving the hospital. The goal is to see if this real-time monitoring can catch problems early and improve care.
