Patient Reported Outcomes/Metrics Program Trial - Palliative Radiation

What Is The PROMPT Study?

The PROMPT Study is a 1-year clinical trial that will monitor the Quality of Life (QoL) of 100 patients that are undergoing palliative radiation. Principal Investigators, Dr. Aisling Barry and Dr. Philip Wong from Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, are using Zamplo to monitor QoL and toxicity monitoring in a clinical trial known as PROMPT - Palliative Radiation.

Hexoskin is a wearable smart shirt that has been used to monitor astronauts' physiology around the clock as they orbit the planet. In the PROMPT study, cancer patients scheduled for radiation therapy will be wearing the Hexoskin shirt to record their health data and will use Zamplo to monitor their symptoms. Patients will be able to see a daily summary of their Hexoskin data in Zamplo.
