Colorectal Cancer

Voice-first symptom and treatment monitoring for colorectal cancer — capturing chemotherapy toxicity, immunotherapy adverse events, bowel function, neuropathy progression, nutritional status, and financial burden in real time.

Study Overview

About this study

Colorectal cancer patients cycle through distinct treatment-related symptom burdens — chemotherapy toxicity patterns, immunotherapy-related adverse events, peripheral neuropathy progression, and nutritional decline — that largely go unmonitored between clinic visits. This study captures daily-granularity data across 21 structured observation topics, generating real-world evidence suitable for post-market surveillance across the rapidly expanding CRC precision therapy landscape. Designed for adult self-reporting, it tracks the symptoms that matter most to patients (bowel urgency, chemo brain, fatigue trajectories, cold sensitivity) alongside the care delivery outcomes that matter to researchers (ER visits, dose reductions, treatment delays, and financial toxicity).

What's included

Key features

  • Chemotherapy toxicity tracking with cycle-day pattern detection
  • Immune-related adverse event monitoring with severity grading and treatment impact
  • Peripheral neuropathy progression tracking with functional impact assessment
  • Bowel function monitoring including urgency, incontinence, and blood in stool
  • Stoma output and peristomal skin condition tracking for ostomy patients
  • Financial toxicity and practical burden measurement as structured observations
  • Nutritional status monitoring with appetite, nausea, taste changes, and weight tracking
  • Real-time safety signals for febrile neutropenia, bowel obstruction, and dehydration risk

Topic Configuration

Configured topics

Each study includes pre-configured topics that patients interact with daily. Here are examples of how we've set up data collection for this study.

  • Cold sensitivity level
  • Functional impact (buttoning, writing, driving)

Bowel Movement

Sample questions

  • Number of BMs today
  • Urgency or incontinence
  • Blood in stool
  • Bristol stool scale appearance

Infusion / Treatment Session

Sample questions

  • Regimen administered
  • Cycle number
  • Infusion reactions (cold sensitivity, allergic)
  • Pre-medications given

Financial & Practical Burden

Sample questions

  • Financial stress level
  • Missed work days
  • Insurance barriers
  • Cost-related treatment decisions

Immunotherapy Side Effects

Sample questions

  • irAE type (colitis, dermatitis, thyroiditis)
  • Severity
  • Steroid treatment or immunotherapy held
