Evaluating the Role of Step Counts in Predicting Readmission and Mortality

The intervention involves daily monitoring of discharged oncology patients using a smartwatch (Huawei Watch Fit 2) to track physical activity (step count), heart rate, and sleep duration. Data is collected remotely via a smartphone app, allowing real-time tracking of health metrics post-discharge. This intervention is distinct in its focus on correlating mobility and physiological data with the risk of rehospitalization within a 30-90 day period. Patients will also receive recommendations to maintain daily walking routines as part of their post-discharge care. Additionally, quality of life and sleep quality assessments are conducted before discharge and at follow-up visits to provide a comprehensive overview of each patient's post-hospital recovery.
