Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Smart Water Bottle Intervention Arm

Patients will receive a smart water bottle, then instructed on bowel and bladder preparation for daily standard of care radiotherapy treatments for up to 10 weeks.

Group Type OTHER

Smart Water Bottle

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Patients will be given a smart water bottle and coached on its use. The device is a 24 oz non-bisphenol A acrylic water bottle with the ability to track water consumption from the bottle, alert its users via a smartphone-based notification system, as well as visually remind patients with a light-emitting diode in the device. Participants will be alerted to drink patient-specific volumes of room temperature water 45 minutes prior to daily standard of care radiotherapy.
