Fitbits for recovery: study tracks sleep and steps after stem cell transplant
NCT ID NCT07140770
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how sleep and physical activity change for blood cancer patients and their caregivers after a stem cell transplant. Researchers will use a Fitbit to monitor activity, sleep, and heart rate, and ask participants to complete questionnaires about their quality of life. The goal is to understand the challenges both patients and caregivers face during recovery.
