The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research a $747,660 Project Grant under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) on June 2, 2026, to develop and validate the RADIANT (Reducing Readmissions Through Innovative Applications of Telemedicine) trial. This five-year initiative, concluding May 31, 2031, combines remote patient monitoring (RPM) with integrative medicine (IM) interventions delivered via telemedicine to reduce hospital readmissions among medical oncology patients discharged to home. The research addresses a critical clinical need, as oncology patients experience 33-55% readmission rates within 12 weeks of discharge, creating substantial psychosocial, physical, and financial burdens for patients and caregivers. The RADIANT program integrates electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePROs) symptom monitoring with evidence-based mind-body therapies—such as yoga, tai chi, and meditation—to address the complex symptom burden oncology patients face post-hospitalization. The telemedicine platform enables the RPM system to recommend live, synchronous integrative medicine sessions tailored to individual patient needs, eliminating traditional barriers including transportation costs, time constraints, and facility limitations. By combining these complementary approaches on a single platform, the award supports the development and validation of a scalable intervention model that preliminary evidence suggests can simultaneously reduce symptom burden and lower hospitalization rates compared to standard post-discharge care protocols.Federal Grant Award Summary
