Study design and protocol for My Guide: an e-health intervention to improve patient-centered outcomes among Hispanic breast cancer survivors.
This article describes a randomized controlled trial designed to investigate the feasibility and efficacy of a Smartphone application intended to improve health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among Hispanic breast cancer survivors. Participants are randomized to receive either the intervention application My Guide, or the health education control condition application My Health for six weeks, and also receive weekly telecoaching to enhance adherence to both applications. The study's outcomes are measured prior to intervention, immediately after, and eight weeks following initial application use.

Role of patient-reported outcomes in postsurgical monitoring in oncology.
This article describes the benefits of electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePROs) in postsurgical symptom monitoring for surgical oncology patients; ePROs can identify at-risk patients, provide closer monitoring, and provide a mechanism to identify and treat complications before they worsen. The article also summarizes the literature of ePRO use in surgical oncology.
