About this study

The research objective is to test the feasibility of using an Apple Watch-based system with the capacity to monitor BMT patients' physical activity and other patient reported outcomes at an ongoing basis within the inpatient BMT setting at the University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center (UKMCC). The central hypothesis in this project is that the Apple Watch-based system designed based on user-centered design principles and the proposed study method will yield high feasibility.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Design Phase: Post 100 days BMT patients, family caregivers and providers
  • Trial Phase: New BMT patients

Exclusion criteria

  • under 18 years old;
  • can't communicate, read or write in English;
  • having any communicable infection or showing the signs of it, including coughing, fever, or rash;
  • and incapable of completing the assigned research activities.

Treatment and study plan

BMT Physical Activity app

Device

This app sends reminders to patients, collect activity data from Apple Watch, and allow patients to submit symptoms.

Watch Only

Other

A locked Apple Watch will be used to collect physical activity data from the Watch Only patients.

Primary outcomes

  1. Feasibility - Recruitment

    Time frame: The day of recruitment

    Recruitment rate: the percentage of eligible patients who are enrolled

  2. Feasibility - Study completion

    Time frame: From enrollment to 30 day post transplant or at hospital discharge

    Study completion rate - The percentage of enrolled patients who completed the study

  3. Feasibility - Usability

    Time frame: 30 day post transplant or at hospital discharge

    A survey scale (User version - Mobile Application Rating Scale or uMARS) will be used to measure usability. uMARS scale score is calculated by averaging the likert scale answers, which range from 0 to 5. The uMARS score of 3.5 or higher is deemed to be acceptable usability.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Physical Activity

    Time frame: 30 days post intervention or at hospital discharge
