Summary
This study tested a health cloud platform accessed via smartphone to help patients who have a urostomy after bladder cancer surgery. The platform allowed patients to check their medical info and communicate with nurses. Researchers measured whether this improved patients' ability to care for their stoma and reduced anxiety. The study involved 42 adults aged 18 to 80 who had undergone bladder removal and urostomy surgery.
