NCT ID NCT06385587
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tested a mobile app called Oleena designed to help head and neck cancer patients track and manage symptoms like pain and nausea during chemoradiation. 33 patients used the app while their healthcare team monitored them remotely. The goal was to see if patients and doctors found the app useful and easy to use.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only โ not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Oleena mobile app (software medical device for symptom monitoring)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this app could help patients better manage treatment side effects and improve communication with their healthcare team.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study with only 33 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The app is a monitoring tool, not a treatment, so it won't directly fight the cancer.
