Co-create a symptom reporting tool for cancer survivors

STUDY BASICS

We want your insight. This research study aims to design a gamified electronic patient-reported outcome (ePRO) platform to engage patients with cancer and facilitate patient-clinician communication. Participants will be asked to complete a brief survey and attend two focus group sessions. Compensation is provided.

STUDY PURPOSE

The purpose of this research study is to design a fun, game-like system for reporting your health outcomes, such as symptoms. This system will help make symptom reporting more enjoyable for you to share how you’re feeling and communicate with your healthcare providers.
