PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:~I. To assess the feasibility and acceptability of remote perioperative monitoring in solid tumor cancer patients scheduled for gastrointestinal (GI), genitourinary (GU), gynecological (GYN) cancer surgery.~II. To explore patterns, trajectory, and changes in physiologic health parameter outcomes (weight, temperature, oxygen saturation, heart rate, blood pressure, daily steps) and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) (symptoms, quality of life [QOL]) from pre-surgery to the post-discharge period.~III. To explore the relationship between changes in physiologic health parameter outcomes/PROs and surgical outcomes (postoperative complications, readmissions).~IV. To explore changes in physiologic health parameters and PROs by open surgery versus minimally invasive (laparoscopic or robotic) surgery.~OUTLINE:~Patients undergo remote perioperative telemonitoring with home monitoring devices activity monitor beginning 7 days before surgery and up to 30 days after hospital discharge.~After completion of study, patients are followed up for 2 months.
This study examines at-home monitoring of patient-generated phsyiologic health data and patient-reported outcomes. Patient-generated health data using at-home monitoring devices and smart device applications are used more and more to measure value and quality in cancer care. This trial may show whether at-home monitoring programs can improve the care of patients after hospital discharge from surgery.
