About this trial

This study aims to evaluate how walking stability and the ability to perform daily activities change during cancer treatment, and whether a smartwatch can detect these changes. The goal is to develop proactive, personalized tools that automatically monitor treatment response and predict potential complications. To support future implementation, the study will assess the feasibility of wearing a smartwatch for at least 12 hours per day, using a mobile application, and completing weekly questionnaires among patients with primary osteosarcoma or metastatic bone disease.
