Digital health technology has been widely adopted in end-of-life care for various purposes, such as education, telemedicine, and prognosis prediction using electronic health records [This pilot study aimed to combine wearable devices and machine learning to develop a prediction model for the death event of patients with cancer at the end of life. We hypothesized that using a smartwatch for continuous monitoring may provide greater insight into the progress of patients with terminal cancer and, with the aid of machine learning techniques, may be able to predict changes in their conditions.
