Understanding Sleep and Activity After Transplant

This study is looking at how sleep and physical activity change for patients and their caregivers after an allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (a type of stem cell transplant). You and your caregiver would wear a Fitbit device to track your activity, sleep, and heart rate. You'll also complete questionnaires at three different times: when you enroll, 8 days after your transplant, and 7 days after you leave the hospital. The main goal is to see if it's practical to collect this information using Fitbits and to understand how these changes affect your quality of life. This study is for patients aged 18 and older who are scheduled for an allogeneic HCT for a blood cancer, and their primary caregivers. The study aims to enroll 66 participants.

Study design

What's involved
You would wear a Fitbit device on your wrist and complete questionnaires at three different times: enrollment, 8 days after transplant, and 7 days after hospital discharge. You will also complete two functional tests, including a grip strength test.
