## Description

Supports the WEARABLES study by securely collecting vital health data via Apple Watch to help detect early signs of infection in trial participants

This app is designed to support a clinical research study focused on improving care for children undergoing cancer treatment. Specifically developed for enrolled trial participants, the app works with Apple Watch to securely collect and transmit vital health data, including heart rate, temperature trends, and physical activity levels. This data helps researchers monitor for early signs of infection, with the ultimate goal of early detection of infections for paediatric oncology patients.

Infections can be especially serious for children receiving cancer treatments, as their immune systems are often weakened. Early detection of infection can lead to faster treatment, fewer complications, and better outcomes.

Key App Features:
Apple Watch Integration: Automatically captures key health metrics like heart rate and activity, syncing securely in the background.
Secure Data Handling: All data is encrypted and securely transmitted in accordance with strict research and privacy standards. 
User-Friendly Interface: Designed with paediatric patients and caregivers in mind, with simple prompts and minimal interaction required.
Supports Research Goals: Enables real-time data sharing with clinical research teams to improve understanding of early warning signs in immunocompromised patients.



Who Can Use This App? 
This app is intended exclusively for participants enrolled in the WEARABLES MCRI clinical trial. 



How It Works: 
Once set up, the app passively collects relevant health data from your Apple Watch and transmits it to the study database. You can continue with your daily routine without needing to manually input data. This ensures that researchers receive a continuous, reliable stream of health information without burdening participants.



Why This Matters: 
Children undergoing cancer treatment are especially vulnerable to infections, and even minor symptoms can escalate quickly. By harnessing the power of wearable technology, this study hopes to make a meaningful difference in the early detection and treatment of these complications. 



Privacy and Security:
We take data privacy seriously. All information collected is stored securely and used only for research purposes approved by an independent Human Research and Ethics Committee (HREC). No personal health data is shared outside the research team.
