Chemotherapy RPM

Monitoring neutropenic fever to prevent hospitalization

Study Scope and Protocol

Neutropenic fever is a common occurrence following chemotherapy treatment. However, in some cases the fever can become serious enough to require hospitalization.

This study correlates multiple parameters continuously captured by the Pulsebridge ECG and axillary temperature monitors to detect and predict an impending event up to 18 hours in advance.
