Smartwatches track cancer symptoms at home

NCT ID NCT07463547

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

Summary

This study explores whether wearable devices, like smartwatches, can help monitor symptoms in cancer survivors. Twenty participants will wear a sensor-packed device that tracks temperature, heart rate, sleep, and activity. Researchers will see how many people agree to use the wearable and how well they stick with it, and compare the data to symptom reports from a phone app. The goal is to learn if this approach is practical and useful for improving remote cancer care.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Wearable device (smartwatch with sensors for temperature, heart rate, sleep, and activity)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that wearables are a practical way to monitor cancer survivors' symptoms at home, potentially improving care.

What could go wrong

This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 20 participants. It is not designed to prove that wearables improve health outcomes, only that they can be used.
