Using a smartwatch to monitor vital signs in stomach or esophageal cancer patients
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a Fitbit smartwatch to track your vital signs (like heart rate) can help catch problems early in people with stomach or esophageal cancer starting chemotherapy. You'll wear the watch and your care team will monitor the data to see if it improves safety and outcomes.
