MHealth application for cancer care delivery

Abstract

Mobile health (mHealth) is the name given to using mobile technology, including wearables and health tracking applications, to monitor and share health information. The use of mobile devices and wireless technologies to monitor symptoms and provide care helps clinicians to make diagnoses more quickly and with fewer mistakes. The ease of mHealth is a significant benefit for patients and clinicians. In this study, a mobile health (mHealth) application for cancer survivor monitoring and screening is developed within the project PERSIST. To that aim, objective and subjective data, including heart rate, blood pressure and questionnaires, are continuously collected from wearable devices. The application enables data flow between users and doctors. Health parameters and personal inputs are analyzed regularly so that users can benefit from better quality care and improved health and well-being. © 2024 Author(s).
