Datos Health App for Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to explore the benefits of the Datos Health App in helping people with cancer increase or maintain their physical activity. Participants will use an activity tracker and mobile app for three months to monitor exercise goals, such as daily steps or weekly exercise minutes. The trial seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of remote monitoring and its user-friendliness. Suitable candidates include those with cancer who are mobile with minimal assistance, are in outpatient rehab or have a doctor's recommendation, want to boost physical activity, and own a smartphone. As an unphased trial, this study offers a unique opportunity to contribute to innovative research that could enhance cancer care through technology.
Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It seems focused on exercise and physical activity, so you may not need to change your medication routine.
What prior data suggests that the Datos Health App is safe for remote therapeutic monitoring?
Research has shown that the Datos Health App, used for remote health monitoring, is safe for users. People have tracked their health with the app without encountering major safety issues. This app simplifies health monitoring for patients and facilitates communication with their healthcare team. It also reduces the workload for healthcare providers while enhancing patient care.
Users have tracked their physical activity and other health information with the app. It collects data from fitness trackers and other devices, enabling users and healthcare providers to monitor health without significant problems. The app integrates well with other health tools, providing a seamless experience. Its emphasis on safety and data security makes it a reliable choice for remote health monitoring.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about the Datos Health App for cancer care because it offers a fresh approach to monitoring patient health remotely. Unlike traditional treatments that often require frequent hospital visits, this app allows for continuous remote therapeutic monitoring through a connected health app and a personal activity tracker. This approach not only empowers patients by keeping them engaged in their own care but also provides real-time data to healthcare providers, potentially leading to more personalized and timely interventions. By integrating technology into cancer care, this method aims to enhance patient outcomes and improve overall quality of life.
What evidence suggests that the Datos Health App is effective for cancer patients?
Research has shown that the Datos Health App, which participants in this trial will use, can help cancer patients remain active during treatment. The app employs artificial intelligence (AI) to track activities such as walking and strength exercises, assisting patients in reaching their fitness goals while undergoing cancer treatment. Early studies suggest that using the app for remote monitoring improves exercise habits by keeping patients engaged and informed. The technology also facilitates remote support from healthcare providers, potentially leading to better overall care.16789
