Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to see whether an at-home monitoring program that collects health, symptoms, and quality of life data in real-time can be included as part of the care of surgery patients in order to provide better recovery. Patient-generated health data (weight, temperature, oxygen level, heart rate, blood pressure, daily steps, symptoms, quality of life) using at-home monitoring devices (thermometer, a pulse oximeter, a digital scale and a Vivofit 4 watch) and smart device applications are used more and more to measure value and quality in cancer care. However, measuring patient-generated health data is not currently part of standard care following cancer surgery. An at-home monitoring program may improve the care of patients after hospital discharge from surgery and may help reduce complications by identifying issues early.


Clinical Trial Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To conduct a pilot randomized trial of a remote, perioperative telemonitoring intervention to improve patient-centered outcomes, surgical outcomes, and healthcare resource use in English and Spanish-speaking patients scheduled to undergo major abdominal gastrointestinal (GI) cancer surgery. Ia. Assess the feasibility, retention, and acceptability of the remote perioperative telemonitoring intervention as measured by the percentage of patients who a) agree to participate; b) complete >= 70% of the telemonitoring; and c) report satisfaction with the intervention through structured exit interviews. Ib. Determine the preliminary efficacy of the remote perioperative telemonitoring intervention on surgical outcomes, healthcare utilization, patient-reported outcomes (PROs), and functional recovery. OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms. ARM I (TELEMONITORING): Patients wear a Vivofit 4 daily for 30 days after hospital discharge for steps monitoring, and complete questionnaires over 5-7 minutes about symptoms and quality of life using the Aetonixx application (app) up to 7 days before surgery, before being discharged from the hospital after surgery, and on days 2, 7, 14, 30 after discharge. Patients also complete pulse oximetry, temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, and weight assessment using at-home monitoring devices before surgery, then on days 2, 7, 14, 30 after discharge. Patients assessments are monitored by the surgical team in real-time to identify outcome trends, including onset, worsening/improving measures, and sporadic versus consistent measures. ARM II (ENHANCED USUAL CARE): Patients wear a Vivofit 4 for daily steps monitoring, and complete questionnaires over 5-7 minutes about symptoms and quality of life using the Aetonixx app up to 7 days before surgery, before being discharged from the hospital after surgery, and on days 2, 7, 14, 30 after discharge. Patients also complete pulse oximetry, temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, and weight assessment using at-home monitoring devices before surgery, then on days 2, 7, 14, 30 after discharge. Patients use standard procedures for reporting problems. ;
