However, in the field of radiation oncology, the medical benefits of mhealth apps are still underexplored. As an additional approach to patient care during radiotherapy, we designed a mobile treatment surveillance app based on patient-reported outcomes.<h4>Objective</h4>We aimed to examine the feasibility of app-based treatment surveillance in patients undergoing radiotherapy (RT). Alongside technical practicability and acceptance, we assessed patient satisfaction and quality of life during treatment.<h4>Methods</h4>This prospective single-center study was performed at Heidelberg University Hospital between August 2018 and January 202Strahlentherapie und Onkologie : Organ der Deutschen Rontgengesellschaft ...
