Smart shirt tracks radiation side effects in cancer patients
NCT ID NCT04983199
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether a special smart shirt, called Hexoskin, can help monitor side effects in 100 patients receiving palliative radiotherapy for cancer that has spread. The shirt tracks heart rate, breathing, and activity levels. The goal is to see if it's practical to use and if it can help detect side effects early, so they can be treated sooner.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Hexoskin Smart Shirt (wearable device)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that wearable technology helps doctors catch and treat radiotherapy side effects earlier, improving patient comfort.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study, not a treatment trial. The smart shirt may not reliably detect side effects, and results may not apply to all patients.
