About this trial
The goal of this study is the assess the use of remote monitoring of vital signs using commercially available medical devices in patients with advanced cancer admitted to a hospice inpatient unit for end-of-life care.
The objectives of the study are:
1. could remote monitoring of vital signs improve patient care through the earlier identification of infections and other (potentially reversible) problems; 2. could remote monitoring of vital signs improve the accuracy of our estimates about how long a person has to live; and c) determine the relationship between complaints of pain / other symptoms and vital signs.
