Brief Summary

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

This research study is testing the use of a smartphone app to identify clinically meaningful changes in the behaviors of patients' with gynecological cancers by using passively collected smartphone data.

Detailed Description

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

This is a pilot study of patients with advanced gynecologic cancers and oncology providers from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's Gynecologic Oncology Program to explore the feasibility and acceptability of a smartphone-based real-time behavioral anomaly detection system (SIGNAL).

The research study procedures include screening for eligibility and study interventions including smartphone data collection, surveys, and a brief interview once you have completed the study to learn more about your experiences on the study.

Participants will download the adapted Beiwe app for a 6-month period and the investigators will collect passive smartphone sensor data and active PRO data bi-weekly.

SIGNAL

Program to explore the feasibility and acceptability of a smartphone-based real-time behavioral anomaly detection system (SIGNAL).

Patients will download the adapted Beiwe app onto their smartphones for a 6-month period and investigators will collect passive smartphone sensor data and active PRO data bi-weekly.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

SIGNAL

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

SIGNAL is a smartphone-based mobile health intervention designed to improve important outcomes in cancer patient patients (e.g., symptom burden, physical functioning).

Patients will download the adapted Beiwe app for a 6-month period and investigators will collect passive smartphone sensor data and active PRO data bi-weekly.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Women \>18 years of age with newly diagnosed ovarian cancer (i.e. prior to completion of cytoreductive surgery-whether primary or interval cytoreductive surgery).
* Own a smartphone (Android or iOS).
* Capable of downloading and running the study apps.
* Can read and provide informed consent in English.
* Do not have cognitive or visual impairments that would preclude use of the app.

Exclusion Criteria

* Patients will be ineligible if they are participating in an investigational drug treatment trial that requires structured symptom or toxicity reporting at the time of enrollment.
* Patients with severe cognitive impairments or who appear too weak, emotionally distraught, agitated or ill to participate, as judged by either the research study staff or an oncology provider, will be excluded.
* Patients who are unable to provide informed consent in English will be excluded because the smartphone app is only available in English at this time.
* Children and young adults up to age 17 will be excluded because the diagnosis of metastatic gynecologic cancers in this age group is rare and the proposed instruments are not designed for people of those ages.
