Clinical trials provide essential treatment options when standard therapies are unavailable for the 15,000 children diagnosed with cancer each year and rural children often travel to specialized centers, requiring effective communication of trial-related safety information between researchers and local providers to ensure safe clinical care. Mishaps in communication, which are unfortunately common, can cost these children their life. TrialWear, a mobile smartpatch, enables effective communication by securely relaying safety details via QR code and tracking local care needs by GPS. The STRP award will enable the development of TrialWear and its adjacent software TrialAware to a scalable, commercial version.
