An App to Improve Colorectal Carcinoma Follow-Up
1FMH - Swiss Medical Association.
Abstract:
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in Switzerland. Patients who have been diagnosed with colorectal carcinoma and received curative surgical R0-Resection frequently relapse or develop metastases in the first 2-3 years postoperatively. With timely detection through appropriate aftercare, some of these patients could potentially be cured. In order to optimize follow-up adherence, we implemented a study environment based on an app, which reminds patients to schedule their follow-up appointments timely with their GP or specialist. In addition, the study environment comprises a central server to collect pseudonomized study data regarding follow-up compliance. The next step will be a study to evaluate the potential impact of such an app. We present the outline of the planned study.
