This study investigates the relationship between physical activity, heart rate, and sleep quality with recurrent hospitalizations among discharged oncology patients. Following discharge, patients will wear Huawei smartwatches to enable daily tracking of step count, heart rate, and sleep duration through a connected smartphone app. Patients will also complete the FACT Quality of Life Survey and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index during follow-up visits. The smartwatch monitoring will occur during the first 30 days post-discharge, while overall patient follow-up will extend up to 90 days. This study aims to determine if lower levels of home mobility, as indicated by step count and other activity metrics, correlate with an increased risk of hospital readmission within the 30-90 day period.
