Access My Breast Cancer Care App for Breast Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The Access my Breast Cancer Care application was developed by a multidisciplinary team with the intention of providing breast cancer patients with a centralized area to navigate their journey. Several of the research team members (Dr. Macadam, Dr. Isaac, Selena (CNS) and Pauline (CNS)) provided clinical expertise to ensure accuracy of clinical content. The application houses educational resources, a calendar, symptom tracker, customizable care pathway, community forum and a chat feature. The study will be designed as a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to measure the effect of the application on patient-centered outcomes of 1) satisfaction with care 2) reduction in adverse events, 3) usability. The investigators will conduct focus groups to understand the benefit of the app from the patient perspective.
