Slow weight loss and falling daily activity are the first signs of cancer wasting, and both can be measured at home. An alert could bring help months earlier.
Home weight and activity monitoring is cheap and acceptable, and remote symptom monitoring has already improved survival and quality of life in randomised oncology trials. Trajectory-based alerts on weight and step count would detect functional decline weeks to months before clinic visits, at which point nutrition and exercise interventions still work.
