Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This pilot clinical trial studies an electronic monitoring device of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and function in improving patient-centered care in patients with gastrointestinal cancer undergoing surgery. Electronic monitoring is a technology-based way of asking patients about the quality of life, symptoms, and activity using online surveys and an activity tracking watch may make it easier for patients to tell their doctors and nurses about any issues before and after surgery. Electronic systems of assessing PROs may increase the depth and accuracy of available clinical data, save administrative time, prompt early intervention that improves the patient experience, foster patient-provider communication, improve patient safety, and enhance the consistency of data collection across multiple sites.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the feasibility of administration of electronic patient-reported outcomes and functional assessment in gastrointestinal (GI) cancer surgery (gastric, colorectal, liver, pancreas).

II. Determine percentage of patients able to complete \> 80% of MD. Anderson Symptom Inventory (MDASI) and European Quality of LIfe-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) web-based surveys.

III. Determine percentage of patients able to wear the wristband device at least 1 week post-operatively.

IV. Determine length of time to complete the web-based surveys.

V. Determine length of time patients are able to wear the wristband device, before and after surgery.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the percentage of patients who did not enroll in the study and analyze the reasons why. This will be accomplished using: 1) the number of patients asked to participate; 2) the number of patients who declined to participate, and 3) reasons for declining participation.

II. Responses from the Satisfaction Tool will be used to assess: 1) ease of use of web-based surveys and wristband device; 2) feedback on items in the web-based surveys that are distressing or difficult to comprehend; 3) feedback on length of surveys and timing of administration; and 4) suggestions for items that were not covered but should be added.

III. Calculate the mean number of missing items within each questionnaire to identify individual or subsets of questions that are difficult to answer.

OUTLINE:

Patients complete online surveys comprising questions about quality of life, symptoms, and activity level, and wear a wristband device (Vivofit watch) 3-7 days prior to and after surgery. After going home, patients complete the symptom survey three times a week and quality of life survey once a week for 2 weeks post-surgery.

After completion of study, patients are followed up for 1 month.

Supportive Care (Vivofit watch, online surveys)

Patients complete online surveys comprising questions about quality of life, symptoms, and activity level, and wear a wristband device (Vivofit watch) 3-7 days prior to and after surgery. After going home, patients complete the symptom survey three times a week and quality of life survey once a week for 2 weeks post-surgery.
