Physical Activity Monitoring Among BMT Patients

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Bone Marrow Transplantation
• Interventions: Other: Watch Only; Device: BMT Physical Activity app

• Registration Number: NCT04474730
• Lead Sponsor: Ming-Yuan Chih

Brief Summary

This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of an apple watch-based application to promote physical activity among bone marrow transplant (BMT) patients.

Detailed Description

The research objective is to test the feasibility of using an Apple Watch-based system with the capacity to monitor BMT patients' physical activity and other patient reported outcomes at an ongoing basis within the inpatient BMT setting at the University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center (UKMCC). The central hypothesis in this project is that the Apple Watch-based system designed based on user-centered design principles and the proposed study method will yield high feasibility.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Feasibility - Recruitment	The day of recruitment	Recruitment rate: the percentage of eligible patients who are enrolled
Feasibility - Study completion	From enrollment to 30 day post transplant or at hospital discharge	Study completion rate - The percentage of enrolled patients who completed the study
Feasibility - Usability	30 day post transplant or at hospital discharge	A survey scale (User version - Mobile Application Rating Scale or uMARS) will be used to measure usability. uMARS scale score is calculated by averaging the likert scale answers, which range from 0 to 5. The uMARS score of 3.5 or higher is deemed to be acceptable usability.

Secondary Outcome Measures
