Purpose: Pulse oximetry remote patient monitoring (RPM) post-hospital discharge increased during the COVID-19 pandemic as patients and providers sought to limit in-person encounters and provide more care in the home. However, there is limited evidence on the feasibility and appropriateness of pulse oximetry RPM in patients with cancer after hospital discharge.
Methods And Materials: This feasibility study enrolled oncology patients discharged after an unexpected admission at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center from October 2020 to July 2021.
Importance: The COVID-19 pandemic catalyzed rapid adoption of telemedicine visits for cancer care delivery. However, patients' experiences with telemedicine remain poorly understood.
Objective: To understand patients' satisfaction with telemedicine visits at a comprehensive cancer center.
Article Synopsis
- Researchers are merging unstructured patient data with structured health records to create the MSK-CHORD dataset, consisting of varied cancer types from nearly 25,000 patients at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
- This dataset allows for in-depth analysis of cancer outcomes using advanced techniques like natural language processing, revealing new relationships that smaller datasets may not show.
- Using MSK-CHORD for machine learning models, findings suggest that incorporating features from these unstructured texts can better predict patient survival than relying solely on genomic data or cancer staging.
Pretreatment prognostication, on-treatment monitoring, and early detection of physiological symptoms are considerable challenges in cancer. We describe the feasibility of high-resolution wearable data (steps per day, walking speed) to longitudinally profile physiological trajectories extracted from Apple Health data in three patients with lung cancer from diagnosis through cancer treatment after obtaining informed consent. We used descriptive statistics to describe our approach of building longitudinal physiological profiles.
