Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the impact of a telemonitoring platform on patient satisfaction with care amongst adult cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. The key questions it seeks to address revolve around the potential improvements in both quality of life and satisfaction with healthcare. Participants in the trial will be provided with a specialized application developed by a team of experienced oncology professionals. Their quality of life and healthcare experience will be compared with that of the control group, who will only receive the standard in-person check-ups established by their healthcare team.
