Smartwatch Study of Hot Flashes in Prostate Cancer Patients
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests whether a smartwatch can accurately measure hot flashes (sudden heat and sweating) that occur in men undergoing hormone therapy for prostate cancer. You'll wear the smartwatch for about 4 weeks while the research team tracks your symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
