Integration of Remote Symptom and Biometric Monitoring Into the Care of Adult Patients With Cancer Receiving Chemotherapy—A Decentralized Feasibility Pilot Study
Abstract:PURPOSE Although electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePROs) are efficacious in symptom management, much is unknown about the utility of vital signs surveillance. We examined the feasibility of a remote patient monitoring platform that integrates ePROs and biometrics into the ambulatory management of symptom burden. METHODS Using a decentralized workflow, patients with gastrointestinal or thoracic cancer were approached for a 1-month study. Patients reported symptom burden via ePROs and biometrics (blood pres… Show more
“…In the study by Offodile et al, 2 "Integration of remote symptom and biometric monitoring into the care of adult patients with cancer receiving chemotherapy," researchers used bluetooth-enabled devices to remotely collect ePRO and biometric (vital signs) data daily among patients with gastrointestinal and thoracic cancer. In this pilot implementation study, workflows were automated to identify potential participants from clinical data using commercially available natural language processing algorithms.…”
