Feasibility and Usability of EnergyPoints: A Mobile Health App to Guide Acupressure Use for Cancer Symptom Management.

Objective: To examine the feasibility and usability of EnergyPoints™, an innovative mobile health app that teaches and guides people with cancer to implement daily acupressure to self-manage their fatigue and sleep disturbances.

Methods And Intervention: The study used an integrated agile, human-centered approach. Adults (age 18 years and over) with cancer experiencing at least moderate fatigue, and living in the Greater New York City community, were recruited from social media, patient advocacy groups, and referrals.

Integrating electronic geriatric assessment and frailty screening for adults with acute myeloid leukemia to drive personalized treatment decisions.

Purpose: Evidenced based guidelines for patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) acknowledge increasing importance of frailty assessment when deciding on treatment, yet comprehensive geriatric assessment (GA) results are not easily incorporated into clinic workflows and the electronic health record. This study assessed the feasibility of electronic GA use in a real-world environment.

Methods: Patients with AML, ≥ 60 years and at a treatment decision-making point were recruited at three academic institutions.

Goals, preferences, and concerns of patients with acute myeloid leukemia at time of treatment decision.

Introduction: Current cancer value-based models require documentation of patient goals of care and an evidence-based treatment course commensurate with patient goals. This feasibility study assessed the utility of an electronic tablet-based questionnaire to elicit patient goals, preferences, and concerns at a treatment decision making time point in patients with acute myeloid leukemia.

Materials And Methods: Seventy-seven patients were recruited from three institutions prior to seeing the physician for treatment decision-making visit.

Associations of Symptom Clusters and Health Outcomes in Adult Survivors of Childhood Cancer: A Report From the St Jude Lifetime Cohort Study.

Purpose: To identify symptom clusters among adult survivors of childhood cancers and test associations with health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and physical and neurocognitive performance.

Methods: This cross-sectional study included 3,085 survivors (mean age at evaluation 31.9 ± 8.

Electronic Patient Symptom Management Program to Support Patients Receiving Cancer Treatment at Home During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Objectives: Remote patient monitoring became critical for patients receiving cancer treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic. We sought to test feasibility of an electronic patient symptom management program implemented during a pandemic. We collected and analyzed the real-world data to inform practice quality improvement and understand the patient experience.
