The efficacy of web or mobile-based interventions to alleviate emotional symptoms in people with advanced cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis

This review aims to critically evaluate the efficacy of web or mobile-based (WMB) interventions impacting emotional symptoms in patients with advanced cancer. Twenty-three of the 1177 screened studies met the inclusion criteria, and a total sample of 2558 patients were included. The sample was 57% female, and 33% had advanced cancer with mean age of 57.15 years. Thirteen studies evaluated anxiety, nineteen evaluated depression, and eleven evaluated distress. Intervention components included general information, tracking, communication, multimedia choice, interactive online activities, tailoring/feedback, symptom management support content, and self-monitoring.

Research published at ASCO 2020 shows that machine learning models trained with patient-reported data can predict onset and presence of immune-related adverse events

The cooperative research between Kaiku Health and Oulu University Hospital aimed to investigate whether patient-reported symptom data (Patient-Reported Outcomes) could be used as an input for machine learning-based prediction models for early detection of immune-related adverse events (irAEs). The research was published at ASCO Annual Meeting 2020 Online Publication on the 13th of May, 2020. The results suggest that machine learning-based prediction models, using patient-reported symptom data as input for the models, can predict the presence and onset of irAEs with high accuracy.

Patient and clinician perspectives of desired features for a web-based self-management program (icanmanage.ca): exposing patients “hard work” of managing acute cancer

People with cancer benefit from self-management support, but report limitations in the type/amount of support they receive from healthcare professionals during cancer treatment. To intervene in this critical period, our team is developing a web-based self-management system, called I Can Manage Cancer (ICMC). The purpose of this paper is to report patient and clinician perspectives on the preferred features and functions in a self-management system that informed the development of the ICMC program.
