Can an app help older leukemia patients track their health at home?
NCT ID NCT07597590
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This pilot study tests whether adults aged 65 and older with acute leukemia can use a digital platform to complete health questionnaires from home. Twenty participants will fill out surveys about their quality of life and symptoms on a tablet or phone, with results sent directly to their care team. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and whether it can improve follow-up care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Digital structured assessment (questionnaires via app)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that remote digital monitoring is practical for older leukemia patients, potentially improving follow-up care and quality of life tracking.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small pilot study (20 people) with no control group, so results may not apply widely. Technical issues or patient difficulty with the app could limit success.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age 65 years or older. * Confirmed diagnosis of acute leukemia of myeloid or lymphoid origin. * Active ambulatory follow-up in the Hematology Service at Hospital Universitario Central de Asturias. * Ability to understand the questionnaires and provide their own responses, independently or with practical assistance from a caregiver. * Access to a compatible internet-enabled digital device, either personally or through a caregiver. * Provision of written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Cognitive impairment that, in the treating hematologist's clinical judgment, prevents the participant from understanding the questionnaires or providing their own responses, despite permitted practical assistance from a caregiver. * Clinical condition that, in the treating hematologist's judgment, precludes completion of the study procedures. * Persistent inability to access or use the MiAsturSalud/SESPA platform despite reasonable technical support.
