NCT ID NCT06789666
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a digital art therapy app called ARTCan is practical and acceptable for young adults aged 18-25 who survived childhood cancer. Participants use the app for 6 weeks to create art and complete mood surveys. The goal is to see if at least 10 out of 15 participants finish most of the program, which would show it's feasible.
