Summary

This trial aims to study the use of wearable activity monitors and smartphones to monitor patients who have had bladder cancer surgery. The goal is to improve post-operative care by detecting and addressing potential issues early. Patients

Who is the study for?
This trial is for English-speaking individuals who are undergoing cystectomy at a single center and own a smartphone. It's not open to those unwilling or unable to participate, non-English speakers, or those without a smartphone.
What is being tested?
The study tests if remote monitoring with FitBits and smartphones can improve care after bladder cancer surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to either get continuous biomarker monitoring and daily health reports, with provider alerts for any issues, or standard post-operative care.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves non-invasive technology like FitBits and smartphones for monitoring purposes rather than medication, traditional side effects are not expected. However, there may be privacy concerns related to data collection.
