Leveraging technology to address POST-Treatment Health Outcomes of Cancer Survivors (POSTHOC): A phase I/II randomized controlled trial of a survivorship care plan mobile application.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Survivorship Care Plans (SCPs) support the transition from active cancer treatment to long-term survivorship. The POSTHOC mobile application (app) was developed to digitize the SCP, improving accessibility, modifiability, longevity, and usefulness, while promoting adherence to diet and physical activity recommendations. This study tested the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of the POSTHOC app and its effect on global symptom burden compared to a traditional SCP among recent cancer survivors.

Methods

In a phase I/II randomized controlled trial, cancer survivors within 12 weeks of curative treatment were recruited. Participants were randomized 2:1 POSTHOC:usual care. The POSTHOC arm had full use of the app for 12 weeks, while the usual care arm received a s
