Summary

This study tested whether an electronic diary app helps cancer patients take their oral medications more consistently than a traditional paper diary. A total of 124 adults with solid tumors or blood cancers were randomly assigned to use either the app or a paper diary to track their pills. The main goal was to see if the app improved how well patients followed their prescribed oral therapy.
