Brief Summary

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

This is a 2-arm randomized controlled study comparing how effective two therapeutic digital software devices are at improving anxiety and other indicators of psychological and physical health in patients with cancer. The study will be completely virtual, meaning participants can take part completely from home without visiting a clinic or study site.

The digital software devices, called called attune™ and cerena™, are designed to be used for approximately 12 weeks alongside oncology usual care regimens (medical, psychosocial). The study will enroll at least 352 stage I-III cancer patients with elevated anxiety symptoms who are currently receiving systemic treatment (radiation, chemotherapy, immunotherapy), have received systemic treatment within the last 6 months, or who have an established treatment plan that includes systemic treatment.
