New app aims to boost mental strength in hospitalized teens with cancer
NCT ID NCT07228533
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 25, 2026
Summary
This study will test a new mobile app called CesiKids, designed by nurses, recovered teens, and parents, to help adolescents aged 12-18 with cancer build psychological resilience while in the hospital. The app uses AI to adapt to each teen's needs and includes activities to strengthen coping skills. Thirty-six teens will be randomly assigned to use the app for four weeks or receive standard care, and researchers will measure changes in resilience and coping at several points. This is an early-stage trial to see if the approach is helpful and feasible.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new, scalable way to help hospitalized teens with cancer feel stronger emotionally and cope better during treatment.
