Pilot Study of the eHealth Application "Cancer Patients Better Life Experience" (CAPABLE) - Italy

The study is designed as a prospectively enrolling, quasi-experimental cohort study in cancer patients, eligible for systemic treatment. The CAPABLE cohort will receive the smartphone application and a multi-sensorial smartwatch (ASUS VivoWatch 5 HC-B05). Patients will be asked to use the system for at least 6 months after enrollment. If, after 6 months, a patient wants to keep using the system, he will be allowed to do so, until the end of the study. Questionnaires on health-related quality of life will be administered to the patients on baseline (T0) and every three months (T1 and T2). Lost to follow-up data will be included in intention-to-treat analysis. Qualitative and quantitative user experience studies will be done at enrollment, after 3 months and at the end of the follow-up period with the CAPABLE system. Results of this interventional study will be compared with a control cohort consisting of renal cell carcinoma patients, recruited in 2021 with the same inclusion criteria as this study population, but receiving standard care (ICSM CE number 2546, dated 13/04/2021 and amended on 09/02/2022).
