New app aims to help cancer patients report side effects from home
NCT ID NCT04915274
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a smartphone app called QuestOnco can reliably track side effects in 134 adult cancer patients receiving active treatment. Patients used the app to report symptoms, and researchers compared those reports to standard paper questionnaires. The goal was to see if the app is a valid and easy way for patients to communicate treatment side effects to their doctors.
