This study tests whether wearing a Fitbit activity tracker and using a Google Health app can help people with axial spondyloarthritis (a type of spine arthritis) become more physically active. The goal is to see if this technology-based approach motivates people to exercise more, which may help reduce pain and improve their condition.
This study tests whether doing posture exercises with a wearable device that gives feedback can help reduce pain and improve movement in people with axial spondyloarthritis. It may be an option for those who are interested in adding a structured exercise program to their routine.
This trial studies an advanced “sensor-based” way to assess how your spine and hips move in people with axial spondyloarthritis. It may help researchers better measure function and choose/monitor treatment, especially for those considered for biologic therapy.
This trial tests if a smartphone app can help monitor spasticity (muscle tightness or stiffness) in people with multiple sclerosis. If you have MS and spasticity that needs treatment, using your own smartphone might help track your health.
This study uses a smartwatch to monitor your activity and recovery after treatment for sarcoma or bone cancer in your leg or pelvis. It helps your care team keep track of how you're doing from home.
This trial tests if a smartphone app can help people with inflammatory arthritis (like rheumatoid arthritis) learn to manage their treatment safely when starting a new biologic or JAK inhibitor medicine. Over a year, you would use the app to track symptoms, learn about your medication, and improve your safety skills.
