Mobile health (mHealth) technologies such as smartphone applications are increasingly being adopted in the healthcare setting to support the delivery of evidence-based care. Given the approaching ubiquity of mHealth tools in medical practice, it is incumbent on the continuing medical education (CME) community to understand how these tools can be leveraged to develop clinician knowledge and competence, and how we can assess these educational outcomes. In this report, we describe our experience developing and incorporating a mobile decision-support tool into multiple activity formats within the European Immuno-Oncology Clinic Companion CME initiative.
