Can a phone app boost prostate cancer screening in black men?
NCT ID NCT07055165
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a smartphone app called Connect2Care can help African American men ages 45-69 learn about prostate cancer and feel ready to take a PSA screening test. About 266 men in Oklahoma who haven't been screened recently will use either the Connect2Care app or a standard government health app for 30 days. Researchers will measure changes in knowledge, screening readiness, and how many men actually complete a PSA test.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Prostate Cancer Genius App (smartphone-based educational and screening navigation tool)
What this could lead to
If successful, this app could help increase prostate cancer awareness and screening rates among African American men, potentially reducing late-stage diagnoses.
What could go wrong
This is an early feasibility study with 266 participants, so results may not apply nationwide. The app's impact on actual cancer outcomes is not being measured.
