Summary
Medication support apps aid oral anti-cancer drug management for gastrointestinal cancer patients. However, elderly patients face barriers like network issues and device operation challenges, limiting app accessibility.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Digital Health
- Geriatric Medicine
Background:
- Medication support applications (apps) are increasingly used for oral anti-cancer drug management in gastrointestinal cancer outpatients.
- Remote support via these apps may enhance quality of life through improved medication and adverse event management.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the challenges elderly patients face in utilizing medication support apps for cancer treatment.
- To identify barriers hindering the adoption of digital health tools among older adults with gastrointestinal cancer.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative analysis of patient-reported barriers.
- Review of technological and logistical challenges in app implementation for elderly cancer patients.
Main Results:
- Elderly patients encounter significant difficulties in installing and operating medication support apps.
- Barriers include network environment limitations, device operational complexities, and issues with information management and resource allocation.
Conclusions:
- Current medication support apps present accessibility issues for elderly gastrointestinal cancer patients.
- Addressing these barriers is crucial for equitable digital health tool implementation in geriatric oncology care.

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) is the clinical practice of measuring specific drug levels in a patient's blood or body tissues to manage and optimize therapy. TDM is crucial for drugs with narrow therapeutic windows, like warfarin and phenytoin, where incorrect doses can lead to treatment failure or severe side effects. This monitoring ensures the dosage administered is within a safe and effective range. The factors affecting therapeutic drug monitoring include:Patient-Specific Factors:a.

Pulse rhythm refers to the pattern of pulsations within specific intervals, offering valuable insights into the regularity or irregularity of the heart's beats as observed through the pattern of pulsation within specific intervals. A regular pulse exhibits a consistent heart rate with uniform waveforms and pulsation force, variations of which can be classified as normal, weak, or bounding.
Conversely, an irregular pulse pattern is termed dysrhythmia, stemming from disruptions in cardiac...
