IoT system to improve mucositis experience during radiation
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a smart monitoring system (RIS) can help manage mouth sores caused by radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. The goal is to see if this technology makes your treatment experience better.
