Breast cancer application protocol: a randomised controlled trial to evaluate a self-management app for breast cancer survivors.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The eHealth technologies that are being designed for chronic disease constitute a global trend towards health assessment and self-management. However, most of these approaches tend to focus on a single symptom or problem rather than on the multiple problems that are characteristic of many of these chronic illnesses. The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of and adherence to a self-management application (app) that identifies multiple problem areas related to surviving breast cancer as the targeted chronic illness.

Methods and analysis
