Evaluating the Use of Wearable Biosensors and PROs to Assess Performance Status in Patients With Cancer

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the association between wearable biosensor data, performance status and patient-reported outcomes in cancer patients. Participants in this study will wear a biosensor (Fitbit Charge HR®) for 15 days and respond to questionnaires that will assess patient reported outcome measures including physical function, emotional distress, pain interference, sleep disturbance and fatigue. Eligible patients will have a diagnosis of advanced cancer. Patients must be greater than 18 years of age and be English speaking due to the questionnaires that will be administered during the study. Patients must also be ambulatory (use of walking aids, such as cane and rollator, is acceptable) and have access to a smartphone with internet access (IOS or Android). It is also necessary for patients to have scheduled oncology clinic visits at least once every 2 weeks.
