MyHeart CHOP vs IOTOX Algorithm

This app is for use by invitation only for select patients and research participants at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. When used in conjunction with a paired wearable device, this app will allow the CHOP team to help track parameters such as exercise, heart rate, physical activity, nutrition, and any side effects experienced throughout your participation in certain CHOP-based programs and research studies. This app should not be used as a substitute for communication with your medical team or emergency medical services.

Immunotherapies have become essential in treating advanced malignancies. However, immunotherapies can attack healthy cells, leading to toxicities or side effects. To address how to best treat patients with these toxicities, the Internal Medicine division has collaborated with the Cancer Medicine division, as well as other divisions at MD Anderson, to create the Immuno-Oncology Toxicity (IOTOX) Leaders Group. ​​​​​​​ Clinical management algorithms depict best practices for evaluating, diagnosing, and treating specific conditions that arise during the course of cancer treatment. These algorithms are not intended to replace the independent medical judgment of the physician in the context of individual clinical circumstances to determine a patient's care.
