App-Controlled Treatment Monitoring and Support for Patients With Head and Neck Cancer Undergoing Radiotherapy: Results From a Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial

Tanja Sprave,
Michelle Pfaffenlehner,
Raluca Stoian
et al.

Abstract: Background Head and neck cancers (HNCs) are very common malignancies, and treatment often requires multimodal approaches, including radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Patients with HNC often display a high symptom burden, both due to the disease itself and the adverse effects of the multimodal therapy. Close telemonitoring of symptoms and quality of life during the course of treatment may help to identify those patients requiring early medical support. Objective … Show more

“…According to our findings, we found several significant advantages of ePRO systems in cancer care: “Improved Quality of Life and Care,” “Real-time and Remote Monitoring,” and “Effective Communication Between Clinicians and Patients.” The most prominent advantage identified was the “Improved Quality of Life and Care”. 14 16 , 18 , 31 71 This finding is consistent with the study by Gressel et al, which emphasized the prevalence of web-based ePRO systems for long-term monitoring and patient empowerment. 101 Similarly, Moradian et al’s exploration of an eHealth tool for capturing and analyzing immune-related adverse events in cancer treatment 31 and Helissey et al’s assessment of the effectiveness of electronic patient reporting outcomes in prostate cancer care further contributed to understanding the benefits of ePRO systems in cancer care.…”

“…The studies included in this review proposed various types of digital intervention for the understanding, support, and enhancement of cancer patients' and of their caregivers' needs and quality of life. We clustered these interventions in 4 different thematic areas on the basis of the predominant scope of the digital solutions as follows: a) supporting the psychophysical well-being [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] , b) reducing the physical distress induced by the side effects of treatments 20,26,[34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41] , c) remote monitoring of vitals and symptoms [42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53] , and d) empowerment and self-efficacy towards patientcentric care [54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63]…”
