Pilot implementation to assess the feasibility and care team impact of an app-based interactive care plan to remotely monitor breast cancer survivors.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To assess the feasibility of an app-based, electronic health record (EHR)-integrated, interactive care plan (ICP) for breast cancer (BC) survivors.

Methods

A single-arm pilot study was conducted with female BC survivors.

Secondary objectives were evaluation of the system's functionality to track an
