This study tests whether a home-based exercise program before surgery can help improve physical function in people with bladder or upper tract urothelial cancer. If you are planning to have surgery to remove your bladder or upper urinary tract, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether patients in early-phase cancer trials can comfortably use smartwatches and phone apps to track their health and report how they're feeling. The goal is to see if these tools can help doctors better understand how cancer treatments affect daily life.
This trial tests whether a home-based physical activity program using a smartphone app helps people with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer become more active compared to a health education group. It's designed for those who are not very active and want to improve their health.
This trial tests if a wearable device paired with a smartphone app can help monitor symptoms in cancer survivors. The goal is to improve how we track and manage symptoms during and after treatment.
This study checks whether common wearable devices can predict or detect problems after treatment or surgery. If you join, the researchers will compare what the wearable shows with what happens to you medically, to see if earlier warnings are possible.
This study tests if wearing a smart watch or fitness tracker can help doctors monitor your recovery after lung cancer surgery. If you are having surgery for lung cancer, participating may give your care team more information to track your health.
