Remote Monitoring and Home-based Health Care for Treatment of Bone Marrow Transplant 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.
