About this study

You have completed the current stage of cancer treatment, after which you need to check regularly and pay attention to nutrition. So we started this study to see if AI could help with nutrition management. Main options: Option 1: Use AI to assist nutrition management; Option 2: Contact the nutritionist team of the hospital for nutrition management according to your own situation. Option 3: Do not adopt the first two management methods. Special Statement: Please choose; Cancer screening data is used for statistical analysis, but does not reveal any personal privacy.

Being tested

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
group 1: Use AI to assist nutrition managementExperimentalThe first step: Preliminary clinical nutrition screening and evaluation. Information of patients' age, stage of nasopharyngeal cancer, treatment stage (radiotherapy, chemotherapy stage) and other information were collected, and the management plan was determined. The second step: AI-assisted HEN management mode. Regular nutritional monitoring and follow-up of patients were conducted by means of intelligent computer, intelligent App body fat device and mobile communication network collection, and basic signs, nutritional status, nutritional risks and implementation of support programs of patients were managed. Nutritional analysis model and index model are used to start the intelligent daily monitoring management and acute attack early warning mechanism. The third step: Monitor and alert. The AI system popularized the basic knowledge of nutrition to patients through the App platform.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06603909, which also lists 5 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Sep 2024.
