MOVE-1: Smartwatch Monitoring Feasibility in Head and Neck Cancer Survivors

The MOVE-1 study dataset contains results from a cross-sectional feasibility study of smartwatch-based monitoring in head and neck cancer survivors. The study, authored by Karl Vietinghoff and shared on figshare, enrolled 35 participants with a median age of 63 years and collected data on recruitment rates, adherence, usability, and step counts. The dataset was last updated on June 3, 2026.

Use Cases

• Assessing recruitment and adherence rates for wearable technology studies based on the reported 50% recruitment rate and 67% median wearing time.
• Evaluating patient-reported usability of health wearables based on the System Usability Scale (SUS) scores and frequency of display use.
• Analyzing baseline physical activity levels in a specific cancer survivor cohort based on the reported median daily step count of 7,298 steps.
• Investigating common barriers to technology adoption in clinical studies based on reasons for non-participation, such as low affinity for technology.

Strengths

• Includes specific, quantified feasibility metrics: a 50% recruitment rate and median smartwatch wearing time of 111 out of 168 hours (67%).
• Reports concrete usability outcomes: a mean System Usability Scale (SUS) score of 74 and 60% of participants using display functions 'often' or 'very often'.
• Provides a clear demographic and clinical context with data from 35 head and neck cancer survivors with a median age of 63 years.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small, with a file size of only 19.2 KB, indicating limited scope.
