NCT07477886 | Recruiting

Brief Summary

This study uses ambient sensing rooms to collect data from hospitalized cancer patients in order to improve safety and recovery. Being hospitalized increases the risk for delirium (acute confusion), falls, troubles sleeping, and mood changes. Ambient sensing rooms are special rooms that use technology including a video camera to watch the room, an audio recorder to listen to sounds, and a temperature sensor (thermography) to check how warm or cool the room and people are. These tools may help nurses and doctors notice problems early, give better care, and keep patients safe and comfortable.

Conditions

Malignant Solid Neoplasm; Hematopoietic and Lymphatic System Neoplasm

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Complete hospital timeline

  Will develop a complete hospital timeline that integrates input from video, audio, thermography, and patient-reported symptoms. This multimodal hospital timeline will illustrate patterns of care that result from system and human interaction.

  Up to 1 year

Study Arms (2)

Observational group I

Patients complete a questionnaire, have ambient sensor data collected for the duration of their stay in the ambient sensing room, participate in an interview, and have their medical records reviewed on study.

Other: Non-Interventional Study

Observational group II

Clinicians participate in a focus group on study.

Other: Non-Interventional Study

Interventions

Non-Interventional Study OTHER

Non-interventional study

Also known as: Non-Interventional Observational Study, Noninterventional (Observational) Study

Observational group I; Observational group II
