Description
1 study reviewed
In plain English

A digital tool that helps gastric cancer survivors manage symptoms after surgery, using personalized feedback and validated questionnaires, was used by 86.7% of patients over six months, and 82% reported being satisfied with it.

See the scientific wording

A digital symptom management platform integrated with validated patient-reported outcome algorithms and personalized feedback for gastric cancer survivors after gastrectomy is feasible and acceptable, with 86.7% adherence and 82% patient satisfaction over six months, suggesting it can support continuity of care in postoperative recovery pathways.

Why this might work

Regular use of a digital platform that tracks symptoms and gives personalized responses reduces stress signals in the brain, which lowers the body’s fight-or-flight response, making patients feel more in control and more likely to keep using the system.
