Evaluation of the Role of Connected Scales in the Therapeutic Care of Hematology Patients

Evaluation of the Role of Connected Scales in the Therapeutic Care of Hematology Patients

In this research, we will evaluate the feasibility of following by remote monitoring, using a connected scale, in hematology patients suffering from myeloma or lymphoma and requiring treatment with chemotherapy. 30 patients will be included in the research and will all use a connected scale for the duration of their participation (7 weeks +/- 1 week). During their participation, patients will be asked to weigh themselves once a day, ideally at a set time. Patient data will be accessible by the medical team via a remote monitoring platform.

Alerts will be generated in the event of abnormal development of certain clinical parameters (weight, heart rate, etc.) allowing early treatment to be implemented by the medical team.

At the end of their participation, we will evaluate patients' support and perception of this tool, as well as the healthcare consequences of the alerts generated by the remote monitoring platform.
