About this trial
Beacon is a digital platform that processes objective and subjective aggregated data provided by patients. Objective data is provided by standard wearables, while subjective data is provided by patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), comprising written and vocal patient reporting.
The ASPIRE.AI study is a prospective study evaluating the feasibility of clinicians' use of aggregated data that was provided by patients and analyzed through "Beacon", and its influence on advanced cancer patients' palliative symptoms management.
Approximately 40 consecutive eligible ambulatory advanced cancer patients first attending the palliative unit in the Davidoff Center will be enrolled. The trial will continue for \~1 year, with each patient participating in this trial for a total of about 12 weeks.
All participants will receive the intervention. The intervention comprises the palliative standard of care treatment along with the usage of the Beacon digital platform, which enables comprehensive data collection and aggregation regarding the patient's biopsychosocial status, and thus, the patient's symptom burden.
Data collected and aggregated through Beacon includes Beacon data provided by the patients via wearables (smartwatch/sensors), smartphones, and written and recorded PROMs.
Researchers will then evaluate physician engagement with the platform, Influence on treatment, and the physician user experience rating as well as patients' adherence, satisfaction with Beacon usage, and changes in patients' symptom burden and quality of life.
