New app could cut phone calls for cancer patients
NCT ID NCT06371911
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a digital platform called Cureety could reduce the number of phone calls hospital staff need to make to cancer patients before their injectable treatments. 192 adults starting injectable cancer therapy in France were randomly assigned to usual care or usual care plus Cureety. The platform lets patients report symptoms and test results online, potentially flagging only those who need a call.
