Your final post: cancer patients plan their digital afterlife

NCT ID NCT05035667

Summary

This study aims to understand how people with advanced cancer think about and plan for what happens to their social media accounts (like Facebook or Instagram) after they die. Researchers surveyed 117 patients in a supportive care clinic to learn if they've discussed this with family, their awareness of account options, and if the conversation causes stress. The goal is to better support patients' emotional needs and improve discussions about digital legacy planning.
