An interventional study of BioIntellisense BioSticker in Bone Marrow Transplant, sponsored by University of Colorado, Denver. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 89 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-02-27.
Sponsored by University of Colorado, Denver · Not applicable, Interventional, and Device feasibility
This study is designed to assess the potential for successfully using technology-assisted in-home oncology care, including remote patient monitoring (RPM), telemedicine, and home-based health care services to support improved care management and appropriate referral to treatment for bone marrow transplant (BMT) patients.
Study participants will complete an onboarding session into the Oncology at Home care program prior to discharge from the hospital. During the onboarding process, participants will be introduced to the RC care team, confirm understanding of their customized care plan treatment and goals as established by their BMT care provider, will receive an oral thermometer for use during the study, and will complete patient education. Working with the study team and RC RN, participants will receive, affix, activate, and test a wearable RPM device (the BioIntellisense BioSticker) prior to discharge from the BMT unit. As the BioSticker needs to be replaced every 30 days, patients will also receive three additional BioStickers new in packaging for use during months 2 and 3 as well as to have a back-up device in case of malfunction. Patients will return the BioSticker to BioIntelliSense with the postage paid return envelope provided at discharge.
The BioSticker will report skin temperature data once per hour, along with additional vital sign information (heart rate, respiratory rate, estimated body temperature, frequency of severe cough episodes, activity level, body position, sleep duration, degree of incline while sleeping, step count, step symmetry, step strength, and on/off body times). Participants will be expected to wear the BioSticker 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, and to also track and log their temperature manually with the oral thermometer according to usual care practice at a minimum of twice per day.
RPM data will be monitored 24 hours per day, 7 days per week by Reimagine Care, Inc. Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) from the Reimagine Care, Inc. Virtual Care Center (VCC). During daytime business hours, APPs will monitor in real time from the VCC. After business hours and on weekends, APPs will be on call and will be automatically notified through a mobile device in case of elevated temperature or other alert of interest. APPs on call will keep the notification device with them at all times.

Exclusion Criteria:
Patients will be excluded from study participation if the PI or designated care provider believes study participation would not be in the patient's best interest for clinical reasons.

Device: BioIntellisense BioSticker
This study uses the BioIntellisense BioSticker for RPM, in combination with the BioSync mobile app on participants' mobile phones for data transmission, augmented by use of the BioHub as a backup transmission device. RPM monitoring of device data is accomplished through use of the AlertWatch software system. BioSticker System TheBioSticker ® System is an FDA-approved remote monitoring wearable device intended for continuous collection of physiological data in home and healthcare settings. This includes heart rate, respiratory rate, skin temperature, estimated body temperature, frequency of severe cough episodes, activity level, sleep duration, body position, degree of incline while sleeping, step count, step symmetry, step strength, and on/off body times and other symptomatic and biometric data. Data are securely transmitted using AES-CTR 128 bit encryption via wireless connection from the device for storage, review, and further analysis.

Number of patients without infection
Number of patients managed at home while using device who did not have an infection. This measure is collected for comparison with alerts. The device does not prevent infection.
Time frame: Up to 90 days
Number of alerts detected through RPM
Alert frequency is tracked to evaluate device function for feasibility of use in the clinical workflow. Patient treatment is not alert-based and is dependent on independent clinical confirmation. An alert of interest is defined as any of the following: * Oral temperature greater than or equal to 100.4 F (38.0 C) for 1 hour or one reading of 101 F (38.33C); * Mean skin temperature over 1 hour \> 98.5 F (36.9 C) or 2.5 times standard deviation from patient's baseline over 1 hour; * Mean heart rate over 1 hour \> 120 beats per minute or 30% overpatient's baseline over 1 hour * Mean respiratory rate over 1 hour \> 24 breaths per minute or 30% over patient's baseline over 1 hour, does not return to baseline following exertion; * The "BioIntelliSense Infection-Like AlertSymptoms" alert will also be monitored.
Time frame: Up to 90 days
Number of patients with infection, but without need for hospitalization
Number with infection, without hospitalization, while using device, for comparison with alerts.
Time frame: Up to 90 days
Number of patients with infection, with need for hospitalization
Number with infection, with hospitalization, while using device, for comparison with alerts.
Time frame: Up to 90 days
Patient satisfaction: Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G)
The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - General (FACT-G) is a 27-item questionnaire that measures Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in cancer patients. Responses to each question are scored on a 5 point likert scale ranging from 0 (Not at all) to 4 (Very much). Possible total scores range from 0-108, with higher scores indicating a better outcome/better QoL.
Time frame: Baseline
Transplant Evaluation Rating Scale (TERS)
The Transplant Evaluation Rating Scale (TERS) measures the predicted impact of psychosocial factors on the successful outcome of transplant. The measurement consists of an expert interview, in which the assessor evaluates 10 distinct domains considered relevant to successful adjustment to the transplant, and rates responses from 1-3. These scores are then weighted for relevance to determine a total weighted score. Possible total scores range from 26.5 to 79.5, with higher scores indicating a worse outcome (greater impairment in psychosocial functioning).
Time frame: Baseline
Patient satisfaction: Functional Assessment of Cancer Treatment - Blood/Marrow Transplant (FACT-BMT)
The Functional Assessment of Cancer Treatment - Blood/Marrow Transplant (FACT-BMT) assesses quality of life in adult cancer patients undergoing blood \& bone marrow transplant. The scale includes 5 subscales. The scores of each scale are summed to compute a total score. Possible total scores range from 0-148. Higher scores indicate a better quality of life and a better outcome.
