Prospective trial at Duke Medical Center evaluating a remote patient monitoring platform Using a PSSUQ survey, patients noted that the TempTraq was easier to use than a thermometer. “The mean overall compliance was 93.1% for TempTraq and 85.5% for VitalTraq. Specifically, when at home, the mean compliance was significantly higher […]
This is “a longitudinal observational matched cohort study to assess differences in HCRU and estimated costs within 30 days after infusion for patients (pts) receiving commercial cilta-cel in the OP setting (prospective observational arm) compared to IP administration (retrospective matched cohort).” “The pts receiving OP cilta-cel consented for this IRB-approved […]
In pediatric patients, continuous temperature monitoring can simplify patient care while offering reliable fever detection. This study compared temperature measurements taken with TempTraq to traditional tympanic measurements in 41 pediatric patients. TempTraq measurements were highly correlated to tympanic measurements, and fever detection was consistently sensitive and specific. Additionally, caregivers reported […]
We present a case series of three febrile episodes in neutropenic pediatric cancer patients who wore a Food and Drug Administration approved high-frequency temperature monitoring (HFTM) wearable device (WD) at home.
Fever is an important early sign of serious treatment-related adverse events such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS) caused by chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) immunotherapy and such as infection related to chemotherapy induced neutropenia
ABSTRACT Background: Australia has successfully controlled the COVID-19 pandemic. Similar to other high-income countries, Australia has extensively used telehealth services.
Neutropenic fever is a medical emergency in patients (pts) undergoing intensive chemotherapy or stem cell transplant (SCT). Early detection of fever allows for prompt infectious work up and initiation of broad spectrum antibiotics.
Conclusion: The analysis indicates TempTraq® measurements are in agreement with Pulmonary Artery Catheter temperature measurements and the precision of the two methods are not significantly different.
Early detection of fever and prompt use of broad-spectrum antibiotics is crucial in neutropenic patients (pts). Therefore, a continuous real time method of body temperature measurement may serve as a clinical decision support tool to improve outcomes.
Current standard of care (SOC) includes episodic monitoring of temperature in hospitalized patients, which may delay fever detection. Therefore, continuous real-time body temperature measurement may detect fever prior to the current SOC.
