VitalTraq for Detection of CRS (Cytokine Release Syndrome)

Purpose of this Study

We are doing this study to evaluate the accuracy and utility of two remote vital sign monitoring devices, called TempTraq and VitalTraq, when used by blood cancer patients receiving chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell and bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE) therapies. In the future, these remote vital sign monitoring devices may help with earlier detection and intervention of treatment side effects, including cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and infections.

Who Can Participate?

Eligibility

Adults ages 18+ who:
  • Have a hematologic malignancy
  • Are undergoing treatment with CAR-T or BiTE therapy
  • Own a smart phone that is compatible with the VitalTraq app and can connect to wi-fi
  • Can read and understand English
