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

Summary

This pilot study is testing whether wearable activity trackers, like fitness watches, can help monitor fatigue in people with pancreatic or breast cancer who are undergoing treatment. Researchers want to see if patients will use the device daily and find it easy to use. The study involves 46 participants and lasts 14 days, focusing on whether this approach is practical for future research.
