Wearable Heart Monitor for End-of-Life Care Patients
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests whether a small, sticky heart-monitoring patch worn on the chest can safely and helpfully track vital signs (like heart rate) for people in their final days of life with cancer. The goal is to see if this technology helps caregivers and doctors better understand comfort and changes in condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older
- You have been diagnosed with cancer (malignant disease)
- You are receiving end-of-life care, or your care plan has recently shifted to focus on comfort and end-of-life goals
- Your doctor estimates you have less than 14 days to live
- You are able to give informed consent (understand the study and agree to participate, or a legal representative can consent for you)
- You don't have skin problems or adhesive allergies on your chest that would prevent wearing a monitoring patch
