Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to pilot test the feasibility of providing patients diagnosed with a hematologic malignancy, undergoing an allogeneic bone marrow transplant, a wearable device and smartphone app (similar to a Fitbit), that would send personalized reminders to move during their post-transplant inpatient hospital stay to promote physical recovery and well-being.

Detailed Description

Enrolled patients who have been diagnosed with a hematologic malignancy and are scheduled to undergo an allogeneic bone marrow transplant will use a custom-designed wearable device and smartphone application as a behavioral intervention to cue exercise. Participants will be asked to wear the wearable device for the duration of their post-transplant inpatient hospital stay.

Aim 1. To examine the potential efficacy of the wearable device + smartphone application to prompt alloBMT patients to move.

Aim 2. To receive participant feedback on their experience participating in the study.

Conditions

Study Groups

Reminders to exercise through cues provided by wearable device + custom smartphone application

Each participant receives 2 wearable devices and custom smartphone application. Participants will wear an activity monitor on their non-dominant wrist and contralateral ankle. Post-transplant inpatient days \~3-10, participants will schedule three cued exercise sessions each day using the smartphone application. At the scheduled time, the wearable devices will vibrate to indicate "time to exercise" and participants are encouraged to complete an exercise task for 15 minutes. Post-transplant inpatient hospital days \~1-2 and post-transplant inpatient hospital days \~11 until discharge patients will wear the devices but will not receive any cues. During these days, the monitors will only be measuring their movement without any intervention.
