Effects of Telemonitoring in Quality of Life Amongst Cancer Patients

Contigo, a smartphone app, focuses on two main goals: monitoring cancer patients for early signs of drug toxicity and offering educational content to empower them in managing clinical challenges linked to their diagnosis and treatment. Monitoring involves patients inputting experiences via oncology-related questionnaires, with weekly checks for chemotherapy toxicity using a validated questionnaire (PRO-CTCAE). Severe cases trigger alerts, while milder ones receive educational guidance. Data collected is shared with healthcare providers. Educational content, backed by scientific evidence and expert collaboration, covers cancer-specific topics and healthcare processes to enhance patients' self-awareness and self-care practices.
