We designed a monocenter prospective cohort study using PROM via app and remote monitoring via pho-toplethysmography (PPG). The application of these technologies enables an early detection of infections and therefore initiation of medical interventions. The study is conducted as feasibility analysis; primary endpoints are adherence (according to wearing time) and technical robustness.

Compliance
Compliance is defined as wearing time of the in-ear-sensor.
Time frame: 3 months
robustness of the ppg-signal
number and duration of the ppg-signal transmitted
Time frame: 3 months
number of correct- and false-positive alerts
definition via comparison of alerts with clinical data
Time frame: 3 months
number of contacts and hospitalization rates
definition via comparison of alerts and resulting contacts and hospitalization rates with clinical data
Time frame: 3 months
infections
detection of infesctions via suspected ppg-signal transmitted or PRO-data. This results in blood test zu verify acute infections.
Time frame: 3 months
therapy modifications
dose-reductions (%), postponing of therapy cycles (time in days between actual and plannend date), therapy discontinuation
Time frame: 3 months
effect on quality of life
change in minimum 9 points in the EORTC QLQ-C30-questionnaire is evaluated as significant change. In questions 1-28: 28-112 points can be achieved: higher scores are associated with a worse outcome. In questions 29-30:2-14 points can be achieved: higher scores are associated with a better outcome.
