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.
