Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of an interactive ICT-platform for use in a smartphone or tablet in patients treated with radiotherapy for prostate cancer. The hypothesis is that clinical management will be improved and costs reduced and safe and participatory care promoted, when patients report symptoms in an application which provides self-care advice and instant access to professionals.
