✅   At-home Breast Oncology care Delivered with EHealth solutions (ABODE) study protocol: a randomised controlled trial

Health

Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted healthcare delivery for patients with breast cancer. eHealth solutions enable remote care and may improve patient activation, which is defined as having the knowledge, skills and confidence to manage one’s health. Thus, we developed the Breast Cancer Treatment Application (app) for patients and practitioners to use throughout the cancer care continuum. The app facilitates virtual assistance, delivers educational resources, collects patient-reported outcome measures and provides individualised support via volunteer e-coaches. Among newly diagnosed patients with breast cancer, we will compare changes in patient activation, other patient-reported outcomes and health service outcomes over 1 year between those using the app and Fitbit, and those receiving standard care and Fitbit only.
