PROMPT Study

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 radiotherapy at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre.

Goal of the PROMPT Study

The study aims to assess the frequency of grade 2 or above radiotherapy-related adverse events with extended monitoring during and within 1 month of radiotherapy.

By using Hexoskin, a wearable smart shirt that has been used to monitor astronauts' physiology, this study will evaluate:

1. Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs)

2. The rate of electronic survey completion

3. Feasibility outcomes

Zamplo's Role

This study uses Zamplo to monitor patient quality of life and toxicity in a clinical trial known as PROMPT - Palliative Radiation (currently under review).

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.
