Plan to Thrive: Extending Cancer Survivorship Care Beyond the Clinic

Completed

Conditions studied: Cancer, Breast, Cancer of Colon, Cancer of Rectum, Cancer

In brief

The purpose of this study is to test the usability of the Plan To Thrive smartphone application with cancer survivors. This study will involve three visits (baseline, follow-up, and feedback assessments). Between the baseline and follow-up time points, patients will undergo a 90-day period in which they will engage with app content. It is hypothesized that cancer survivors in this study will find the smartphone application, Plan to Thrive, an acceptable and feasible way to access post-treatment information. In addition, the investigators will explore preliminary efficacy by examining changes over time in primary (patient activation, patient knowledge and adherence to follow-up care recommendations and health behaviors) and secondary outcomes \[symptom burden, health-related quality of life and patient satisfaction\].
