Usability and acceptability of the electronic self-assessment and care (eSAC) program in advanced ovarian cancer: A mixed methods study

The advantages, disadvantages, threats, and opportunities of electronic patient-reported outcome systems in cancer: A systematic review

“…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.…”

“…According to Table 1 , The advantages of ePRO were found to be diverse, with “Improved Quality of Life and Care” being the most prominent, cited in 45 studies (28.48%). 14 – 16 , 18 , 31 – 71 This was followed by “Real-time and Remote Monitoring” with 39 references (24.68%), highlighting its significance in real-time health monitoring, which can significantly impact patient outcomes 1 , 16 – 18 , 31 , 33 , 34 , 36 – 39 , 43 , 44 , 47 , 49 …”

“… 14 – 16 , 18 , 31 – 71 This was followed by “Real-time and Remote Monitoring” with 39 references (24.68%), highlighting its significance in real-time health monitoring, which can significantly impact patient outcomes 1 , 16 – 18 , 31 , 33 , 34 , 36 – 39 , 43 , 44 , 47 , 49 – 51 , 54 , …”

“…“Real-time and Remote Monitoring,” emerges as another salient advantage. 1 , 16 – 18 , 31 , 33 , 34 , 36 – 39 , 43 , 44 , 47 , 49 – 51 , 54 , 56 , 57 , 59 , 60 , 63 , 64 , 66 , 70 , 72 – 83 emerged as a crucial aspect in our exploration of ePRO systems. This aligned with our overarching objective of examining the broader applications of ePRO systems.…”

“…This aligned with our overarching objective of examining the broader applications of ePRO systems. Moreover, the studies by Macanovic et al, 72 Holch et al, 73 Wickline et al, 37 and Tang et al 37 provided valuable perspectives into the advantages of ePRO systems in cancer care. Macanovic et al investigated the implementation of a remote patient monitoring system using an ePRO platform in a tertiary cancer center, highlighting the potential for improved symptom management and high compliance rates with weekly symptom assessments.…”
