Mobile sensing to advance tumor modeling in cancer patients: A conceptual framework.

ABSTRACT: As mobile and wearable devices continue to grow in popularity, there is strong yet unrealized potential to harness people's mobile sensing data to improve our understanding of their cellular and biologically-based diseases. Breakthrough technical innovations in tumor modeling, such as the three dimensional tumor microenvironment system (TMES), allow researchers to study the behavior of tumor cells in a controlled environment that closely mimics the human body. Although patients' health behaviors are known to impact their tumor growth through circulating hormones (cortisol, melatonin), capturing this process is a challenge to rendering realistic tumor models in the TMES or similar tumor modeling systems. The goal of this paper is to propose a conceptual framework that unifies researchers fr
