01

What is supported

Randomised evidence exists for structured electronic symptom monitoring in oncology. Those findings depend on the questionnaires, frequency, populations and clinical-response pathways used.

02

What remains earlier-stage

Wearable studies are numerous, but many assess technical or user feasibility and correlations rather than clinical outcome change. This is not the same level of evidence as a validated care intervention.

03
