NCT04613232

Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to determine the adherence to using an Apple Watch during curative intended radiotherapy for head and neck cancer. Secondly it will bring new insights to the patient's activity levels and how heart rate varies during treatment course.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of participants who could wear the device more than 12 hours per day

    To determine the feasibility of using an Apple Watch to obtain biometric data for patients undergoing head and neck locoregional therapy throughout the duration of radiotherapy

    3 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Data acquisition rate

    3 months

Other Outcomes (2)

  • Change in heart rate

    3 months

  • Change in physical activity (steps per day)

    3 months

Study Arms (1)

Apple Watch

EXPERIMENTAL

The research intervention is continuously monitoring of heart rate and physical activity (minimum 12h/day) with a smartwatch which is connected to a smartphone.

Device: Wearable sensor

Interventions

The patients will be asked to wear an Apple Watch during their treatment course. The watch will pasively collect sensor data (heart rate and physical activity)

Also known as: Smartwatch, Apple watch
