1Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
Background:
Treatment for cancer is trending toward oral therapies, which patients can self-manage from home. Proper adherence to oral therapy is vital to safe and optimal care in this setting. Mobile health interventions (i.e., text message reminders, mobile applications, and automated calls) are an evolving strategy aimed at improving medication adherence for patients on long-term oral therapies.
Objectives:
This review aims to provide an overview of research outcomes for the use of mobile health interventions among patients with cancer.
Methods:
A comprehensive review of CINAHL®, MEDLINE®, and PubMed® was completed. Eleven articles were eligible for inclusion in this review.
Findings:
Mobile health interventions are an acceptable approach among patients with cancer and may improve adherence outcomes for those at highest risk for suboptimal adherence.
