CANCER, TERMINAL CANCER
This is a prospective observational pilot study conducted at the National Taiwan University Hospital from September 2021 to August 2022. Patients who were receiving or going to receive outpatient or home-based end-of-life care were referred by their medical staff. The eligibility criteria were (1) age >20 years and (2) terminal cancer diagnosis (incurable cancer with limited life expectancy, judged by the physician of the primary team). The exclusion criterion was the inability to use smartphones because patients or their caregivers needed to use a smartphone to upload the wearable device data.
