Evaluation of a Mobile Digital Solution for Cancer Care and Research: A Feasibility Study
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).

Digital Solutions on improving patient outcomes by prompting early interventions for symptom
relief and support of patient and family caregiver quality of life (QOL).
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.
