简要总结
The purpose of this study is to find out if patients with prostate cancer who have vasomotor symptoms, commonly called hot flashes, from their Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) will consistently wear a smartwatch device to track their health data, log hot flashes on their smartwatch, and how these data compare with daily surveys about their hot flashes. Participants will be asked to wear the smartwatch for 4 weeks and to log their hot flashes on their smart watch pressing a button on the watch. Participants will be asked to complete surveys (sent through a text message link) to describe their experiences with hot flashes.
详细描述
Participants in this study will be asked to log vasomotor symptoms events (VMS or hot flashes) via a smartwatch device and record VMS frequency and subjective experiences via daily electronic surveys.
After a consent is signed and eligibility is confirmed, participants will receive an EmbracePlus (Empatica, Inc.) smartwatch, corresponding charging device, and manual. Participants will download the Empatica Care smartphone application.
The study team will verify successful pairing of the EmbracePlus smartwatch to the participant's smart phone and the collection of biometric data. The study team will instruct participants on use of the device, including instructions on logging VMS events. This orientation will occur at the University of Virginia. The smartwatches and charging devices must be returned to the study team.
Participants will then take the watch home and be asked to continuously wear their EmbracePlus smartwatch (with the exception of time needed to charge the device) for the duration of the study.
Participants will be asked to log VMS event by pressing a designated button on the smartwatch device for one second, once at the beginning and once at the conclusion of an event.

研究组 & 干预措施
Smartwatch for VMS Logging
Participants will be asked to wear a smartwatch during daily life and log VMS events by pressing a designated button on a smartwatch device. Participants will be asked to wear the watch for the duration of the study.
Participants will receive daily electronic (Ecological Momentary Assessments) EMAs from the UVA Qualtrics platform via text message link. EMAs are used to record VMS frequency and subjective experiences.
干预措施: VMS logging (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Duration of wear per day
时间窗: 28 days
For each participant, we will calculate the duration of device wear for each day using the real-time data recorded by the device and estimate the mean daily duration.
Percent of days with self-reported time marked vasomotor events
时间窗: 28 days
Percent of days with self-reported time marked vasomotor events, using the real-time marked vasomotor events from the device.
Concordance between time marked vasomotor events and events described through EMAs.
时间窗: 28 days
Concordance between time marked vasomotor events and EMA reporting of vasomotor events during the corresponding time period.
次要结局
- Number of participants who complete the post-intervention visit(28 days)
- Post intervention survey(28 days)
