Remote System for Daily Symptom Monitoring During Systemic Anticancer Treatment: Patient Acceptance, Usability, and Compliance.

Background: Electronic systems for remotely monitoring symptoms during cancer treatment are increasingly being used. Most of them are intended for weekly or periodic symptom monitoring.

Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the feasibility and usability of a remote system for daily symptom monitoring during systemic anticancer treatment.

Real-time symptom management in the context of a remote symptom-monitoring system: prospective process evaluation and cross-sectional survey to explore clinical relevance.

Purpose: Electronic systems for remotely monitoring symptoms during systemic anticancer treatment are increasingly being used. Some of these systems have features triggering alerts to healthcare professionals for worsening and/or severe symptoms, enabling real-time symptom management. This study aimed at exploring the characteristics and process of real-time alert management as well as its clinical relevance as perceived by healthcare professionals.
