简要总结
Primary Purpose: To develop and validate a smartphone application for improving cancer chemotherapy management, especially in areas of treatment adherence and quality of life.
Hypothesis: Use of a smartphone application tailored for cancer patients will improve medication adherence levels and quality of life scores among cancer chemotherapy patients compared to standard care alone.
Title: Medical Technology-Based Smartphone Application for Cancer Management
Design: 6-month randomized controlled trial with 101 chemotherapy patients
Groups: Intervention (app) vs control (standard care)
Primary Outcomes: Medication adherence (MARS questionnaire); Quality of life (EORTC Q-30)
Analysis: Compare differences between groups on adherence and quality of life using statistical analysis
The application incorporates features like treatment reminders, adverse effect monitoring, education, and patient-provider communication aimed at empowering patients and addressing major gaps in existing cancer care delivery. We hypothesize the smartphone app will significantly improve medication adherence levels and quality of life compared to standard care without use of the app. Findings from this study will provide evidence on the benefits of using mobile health technology to enhance cancer care and self-management.
