Summary

This pilot study tested a 12-week digital health coaching program for people with pancreatic cancer and their caregivers. The program included coaching sessions by phone, text, or email to help manage symptoms. The study aimed to see if the program was easy to use and if participants liked it. Only 20 people took part, so this is a very early look at whether such a program could be helpful.
