Feasibility of using home-based mobile sensors for remote patient monitoring in cancer care and prevention.

9585 Background: Remote monitoring of patients outside of the clinic setting during critical periods of care is an emerging paradigm in oncology. CYCORE (CYberinfrastructure for COmparative effectiveness REsearch) is a software-based prototype for a user-friendly cyberinfrastructure that supports collection and analyses of data from multiple domains using home-based mobile sensors. We evaluated CYCORE’s feasibility in three studies that represented diverse oncology settings and that assessed: (1) physical functioning in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients; (2) adherence to swallowing exercises in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients during radiation therapy; and (3) tobacco use in cancer survivors who completed an in-house tobacco treatment program (TTP). Methods: Eligible participants were ≥ age 18 years, English proficient, and had a history of cancer. Participants used home-based sensors for two non-consecutive 5-day periods. CRC patient sensors provided blood pressure, heart rate, accelerometry and global...
