Start Date

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Cancer Remote Patient Monitoring Fever

Summary

The purpose of this program is to evaluate remote temperature monitoring in cancer patients at risk of fever and infection due to chemotherapy treatment. The main questions it aims to answer are: * does remote temperature monitoring reduce the number of days spent inpatient * what out-of-pocket cost can a patient expect to incur for participating in remote temperature monitoring * the number of billable CPT codes that will be generated by providing remote temperature monitoring Researchers will compare compliant and non-compliant patients to assess if compliance with remote temperature monitoring is associated with a decrease in the number of days spent inpatient. Patients will * wear the thermometer for the duration of their participation in the study * have their temperature monitored continuously * receive alerts on their phone when their temperature exceeds a threshold for a sustained duration, configurable by their physician * respond to texts or calls from remote monitors when an alert is triggered
