ABSTRACT
Background:
Recent advances in the field of information and communication technology enable the adoption of a novel and challenging approach to care management in the oncological domain by developing integrated ecosystems and health mobile applications.
Objective:
The primary endpoint of this pilot study is to evaluate patients’ usability experience at 3-months of a new digital and integrated technological ecosystem (composed of a platform in which patient health data are stored and its mobile application for care monitoring and momentary ecological assessments) for chronic pain in a sample of breast cancer patients.
Methods:
This is an observational, prospective pilot study. Twenty patients with early breast cancer and chronic pain will be enrolled. Each patient will use the PainRELife mobile application for 3 months, during which data extracted from the questionnaires will be sent to the Nu Platform that healthcare professionals will manage. This pilot study is nested in a large-scale project named “PainRELife" which aims to develop a cloud technology platform able to inter-operate with institutional systems and patients' devices to collect integrated healthcare data. The study received approval from the Ethical Committee of the European Cancer Institute in December 2021 (n. R1597/21-IEO 1701).
Results:
The study is recruiting, and data collection is expected to be completed in September 2022.
Conclusions:
The new integrated technological ecosystems might be considered an encouraging affordance to enhance a patient-centered approach to managing cancer patients. This pilot study will inform about which features the health technological ecosystems should have to be used by cancer patients to manage chronic pain.
