Abstract

Mobile health data capture applications (mHDA's) may improve communication between healthcare providers and patients. However, there is limited literature about the use of mHDA's facilitating clinical trials. In this study, the effectiveness of an application, supporting follow-up visits of cancer trial participants was investigated. Twenty participants were provided with an e-questionnaire via the mHDA. Participants rated the usability of the application as high performing (mean Systems Usability Scale 87 points). The research team rated the mHDA as highly applicable and efficient in preparing visits. Anamnesis, physical examination and agreement on further policy were performed within an average of 31 min.
