ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring how a new intelligent care system can improve the experience of patients undergoing radiation therapy, especially when combined with chemotherapy. The study focuses on using real-time blood monitoring to alert healthcare providers about any unusual test results, so they can act quickly if needed. It also aims to provide clearer educational materials to help patients better understand their treatment and communicate their health needs. By enhancing patient safety and reducing anxiety, the trial hopes to improve how well patients follow their treatment plans.

To be eligible for this study, participants must be at least 18 years old and currently receiving radiation therapy with chemotherapy. They should be able to understand and follow the study guidelines and be willing to provide consent. Those with severe cognitive issues or mental health conditions that may affect their participation will not be included. If you join the study, you'll receive additional support and reminders during your treatment, and your experiences will be compared to those of patients receiving standard care over a year.
