Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a Mobile Digital Solution in monitoring and collecting symptom burden data. The proposed study is meant to be the preparatory work for an intervention study to test the effect of Mobile Digital Solutions on improving patient outcomes by prompting early interventions for symptom relief and support of patient and family caregiver quality of life (QOL).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Demographic information and patient-reported symptoms will be collected from study participants through a mobile health application called CancerLife that they can download (FREE) from their mobile device app store (Android or iOS). Participants will be asked to broadcast their emotional and physical status through a list of symptom list within the app as well as how that symptom is impacting their quality of life and activities of daily living. This data will be collected inside the application and display in easy to understand pie charts. Participants will also have the option to broadcast their entry to their social network.

Since the objective of the current feasibility study is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a Mobile Digital Solution in monitoring and collecting symptom burden and QOL data, the investigators will include a standard validated instrument (FACT-G: Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - General) as part of this study. Participants will be asked to complete the FACT-G after initial registration and weekly for up to 4 weeks. Participants will receive electronic mail messages with a link to CancerLife weekly as a reminder to access the website.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

CancerLife

Intervention Type OTHER

CancerLife is a mobile digital solution that allows patients to broadcast their health status inside a private invitation only group, text, email or publicly in Facebook or Instagram. By doing, so the patient collects his/her own patient-reported outcomes data and then share this data with their doctor or care team.
