Summary
This trial uses the Apple Watch and an iPhone app to monitor glioblastoma patients' health data continuously. The goal is to detect early signs of complications by analyzing patterns in heart rate, breathing, movement, and sleep. This could help predict problems before they happen. The Apple Watch has been increasingly integrated into health care for monitoring heart rate and other health metrics, with studies suggesting its potential usefulness in detecting conditions like atrial fibrillation and monitoring cardiac health.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with glioblastoma, either newly-diagnosed or recurrent, who are undergoing treatment or surveillance. Participants need to understand the consent form, have an iPhone to use with the Apple Watch app, and be physically active enough (KPS ≥ 70%). It's not for those under 18, unable to consent due to language barriers, without an iPhone, having wrist tattoos/skin conditions affecting the watch sensor or unable to wear the watch consistently.
What is being tested?
The study tests if measurements from an Apple Watch—like walking data, heart rate, breathing rate and sleep patterns—can relate to how patients feel during treatment changes. The goal is using this data to predict complications or symptom changes in advance.
What are the potential side effects?
There are no direct medical side effects from participating as it involves monitoring through an Apple Watch. However, participants may experience discomfort wearing the device consistently.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Wearing the Apple watch and the associated logging of health dataExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
As part of the monitoring needed for this study, participants will be enrolled for at least 6 months, as this will give enough data to understand how the participant's health changes associate with what is measured by the Apple watch. After this 6 month period, participants may choose to end their participation on the study, or continue if they wish.

Other Research
The most common treatments for Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) are anticoagulants, which include medications like low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH), direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) such as rivaroxaban and apixaban, and warfarin. These drugs work by inhibiting various factors in the blood coagulation pathway, thereby preventing the formation of new clots and the growth of existing ones.
This is crucial for DVT patients as it reduces the risk of complications such as pulmonary embolism and post-thrombotic syndrome. Monitoring tools, like the Apple Watch, can play a significant role in early detection and management by tracking physiological changes that may indicate clot formation, thus allowing for timely medical intervention.
