NCT ID NCT07541365

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is testing whether people in early-phase cancer trials will consistently wear a smartwatch and complete weekly symptom surveys on a phone app. Thirty participants will use the devices for 4 weeks. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and acceptable, not to treat cancer. Results could help design future studies that use digital tools to monitor patients more closely.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that wearable sensors and symptom apps are practical tools for monitoring patients in early cancer trials, paving the way for larger studies.

What could go wrong

This is a very small pilot study (30 people) with no treatment being tested. It only looks at whether people will use the devices, not whether they improve health outcomes.
