Can a smart thermometer protect kids on chemo from dangerous fevers?
NCT ID NCT06697262
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a remote temperature monitor can help detect fever early in children undergoing chemotherapy who are at risk of a serious infection called febrile neutropenia. About 30 children from families with social or emotional challenges will either use a wearable thermometer at home or have a nurse visit twice daily to check temperature. The main goal is to see if families will use the device and if the approach is practical.
