Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
It is essential to improve clinical efficiency and management of hematological and oncological patients treated on an outpatient basis. The most promising operative way to achieve this result is the development of tele-oncology platforms, that allow not only a telemedicine visit, but also the patient support in the daily management of the disease and related disorders, as well as treatments and their complications. In this perspective, the RITA communication platform should be able to support the patient, the caregiver, the physician and the general practitioner in the management of the disease and its treatments.

- EXPERIMENTAL
- label
- App RITA
- description
- The interventional study group will use the Device Rita, an application that allow the oncological and onco-hematological patients to receive and communicate information about the quality of life and about the treatment related adverse events, providing a support in the therapy management. The access to the app functionalities is granted when the physician habilitates the personal profile. The app can be also used from people designated from the patient as caregiver, who can view the data inserted by the patient and, if enabled, they can insert the data for the patient.

- Retrospective Historical
- description
- This clinical trial has no control intervention; on the other hand, the clinical outcomes of this treatment will be compared with the retrospective clinical data obtained from a historical group of comparison. The historic control used in this clinical trial is specifically selected to reflect the endpoints. According to a feasibility phase of this study, the information on the date of start and end of treatments is routinely collected in the medical records of patients, and for this reason, these data are potentially already available for the historical control group.
