Brief Summary
The EMBRaCE-GM study is a multi-cohort trial designed to efficiently evaluate the range of wearable vital signs monitors that could be used to support patients during cancer treatment. The aims of the study are to determine
- to determine if continuous vital signs monitoring is feasible during cancer treatment
- to determine if such monitoring is acceptable to patients undergoing cancer treatment
- to determine what insights could be made with the data obtained A multi-cohort study is essential because there are a huge range of vital signs monitors that could be useful and a method that allows quickly identification of the devices that are most acceptable to patients and which offer the most useful information to clinicians is needed. Similarly, the best device may vary according to the specific disease and the treatment a patient is offered. Each cohort in the study will investigate a variety of wearable vital signs monitors in different patient groups undergoing different treatments. A common data collection platform will be used for all cohorts with a modular design that allows data collection to be adapted slightly to meet specific needs for each cohort.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (4)
Cohort 1/2 - Primary outcome measure: feasibility of monitoring for each wearable monitor (ring and watch):
The proportion of participants who completed the planned duration of monitoring with the device (ie:- did not request to terminate the study early) and the amount of time vital signs were actually recorded by the device expressed as a percentage of the total time the patient wore the device on the study.
Maximum of 6 months
Cohort 3 - Primary outcome measure: feasibility of monitoring for the OURA ring and Withings ScanWatch:
The proportion of participants who completed 5 weeks of monitoring and the full period of monitoring (hospital admission to discharge, max 28 days) with the device (i.e:- did not request to remove the device early) as the amount of time vital signs were actually recorded by the device expressed as a percentage of the total duration of the participant's planned cancer treatment.
5 weeks
Cohort 3 - Primary outcome measure: feasibility of monitoring for the Isansys medical devices LifeTouch, LifeTemp and Nonin Pulse Oximeter):
The proportion of participants who completed 5 weeks of monitoring and the full period of monitoring (hospital admission to discharge, max 28 days) with the device (i.e:- did not request to remove the device early) as the amount of time vital signs were actually recorded by the device expressed as a percentage of the total time the patient wore the device on the study.
Maximum of 28 days
Cohort 3 - Primary outcome measure: feasibility of monitoring for the daily weights:
The number of daily weights recorded (inpatient stay, max 28 days)
Maximum of 28 days

Study Arms (3)
1. Colorectal Cancer
ACTIVE COMPARATORThis cohort seeks to investigate the feasibility of using two commercially available health and wellbeing trackers to monitor patients with colorectal cancer who are about to start treatment. Participants will be asked to: * Wear the OURA ring and the Withings ScanWatch for the duration of their planned cancer treatment up to a maximum of 26 weeks (6 months). * Complete weekly wearable device satisfaction surveys and weekly cancer specific patient reported outcomes measures (modified FACT-C survey). * Report specific symptoms on an ad-hoc basis as they wish.
2. Lung Cancer
ACTIVE COMPARATORThis cohort seeks to investigate the feasibility of using two commercially available health and wellbeing trackers to monitor patients with lung cancer who are about to start treatment. Participants will be asked to: * Wear the OURA ring and the Withings ScanWatch for the duration of their planned cancer treatment up to a maximum of 26 weeks (6 months). * Complete weekly wearable device satisfaction surveys and weekly cancer specific patient reported outcomes measures (modified FACT-L survey). * Report specific symptoms on an ad-hoc basis as they wish.
3. Haematological Cancer
ACTIVE COMPARATORParticipants (with haematological malignancy about to start treatment with CAR T-cell therapy or another cellular therapy product) will be asked to: * Wear an OURA ring and Withings ScanWatch for approx five weeks including whilst they are in hospital (prior to CAR T-cell therapy and continue for 28 days post infusion) * Wear an Isansys LifeTouch, Isansys LifeTemp and Nonin Model 3150 WristOx™ Pulse Oximeter during their inpatient stay only, up to a maximum of 28 days. * Supported to take daily weights using Withings Body Scale. * Asked to complete weekly electronic quality of life surveys * Provide a series of 12 blood samples to measure inflammatory molecules at various intervals
Interventions
All participants will be asked to wear an OURA ring and WithingsScan Watch both at home and whilst in hospital. These devices can record activity, sleep type and duration, resting heart rate and heart rate variability along with a range of other vital signs.

Participants in cohort 3 will also be asked to wear Isansys monitoring devices whilst they are in hospital. They will begin to wear the monitors prior to CAR T-cell therapy and continue for 28 days post infusion. Participants will be asked to wear an Isansys LifeTouch, Isansys LifeTemp and Nonin Model 3150 WristOx™ Pulse Oximeter during their inpatient stay only, up to a maximum of 28 days.
On a weekly basis participants will be asked to complete satisfaction surveys for the devices they are wearing (ring and watch) and report on their quality of life through standardised questionnaires. These surveys will be delivered electronically to participants via their smartphone or tablet device. There will be an option for participants to report adhoc symptoms via an app on their smartphone or tablet device.
COHORT 3 ONLY Participants in Cohort 3 only will be asked to provide a series of blood samples to measure inflammatory molecules during the study. These will be requested at various intervals during face-to-face visits and whilst the patient is in hospital: * Baseline blood sample during study enrolment * Post-lymphodepletion and prior to CAR T-cell infusion (this may be on day -1 or day 0 as needed) * Post CAR T-cell infusion: * Day 1 * Day 3 * Day 6 * Day 9 * Day 14 (if the participant remains in hospital) A sample of blood will be taken at baseline and a further sample post lymphodepletion and prior to CAR T-cell infusion. Post CAR T-cell infusion, samples will be taken at two timepoints (morning and afternoon) on each of the sampling days.
COHORT 3 ONLY During their inpatient stay, up to a maximum of 28 days, participants in Cohort 3 will be supported to weigh themselves daily using a Withings Body Scale.
