This study found computerized cancer symptom assessment and education tools to be feasible for outpatients. Patients found the SymptomReport and SymptomConsult programs easy, enjoyable, and informative.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Health Informatics
  • Patient Education

Background:

  • Cancer patients often require ongoing symptom monitoring and education.
  • Computerized tools offer potential for efficient and accessible patient support.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility of two computerized tools: SymptomReport for symptom assessment and SymptomConsult for tailored education.
  • To gather patient impressions of these novel digital health interventions.

Main Methods:

  • A sample of 41 outpatients with cancer participated.
  • Patients completed SymptomReport and, if applicable, SymptomConsult.
  • Audiotaped telephone interviews assessed patient experiences and impressions.

Main Results:

  • SymptomReport completion averaged under 40 minutes.
  • SymptomConsult completion averaged 20 minutes for 12 participants.
  • High acceptability scores (11 +/- 2) and positive patient feedback regarding ease of use, enjoyment, and informativeness were reported.

Conclusions:

  • The computerized symptom assessment and tailored education tools demonstrated feasibility in an outpatient oncology setting.
  • Initial findings support further investigation and development of these digital health solutions for cancer care.
