Digital Health Technology (DHT)-Derived Physical Activity and Performance in Cancer Cachexia
Tue, Feb 4, 2025 · 3:25–3:55 PM EST Rosen Shingle Creek
About this session
Cachexia is prevalent across cancer types and results in weight loss, muscle wasting, reduced physical activity (PA), and increased mortality. DHTs provide passive, unbiased, patient-focused, and quantitative measures of continuous PA/function. We will share evidence on the importance of PA to patients, and what a meaningful change is in cancer patients with cachexia. Moreover, we will discuss the use of the DHT-derived PA measures to assess function and support clinical trials.
