How Was Your Experience Using Remote Symptom Monitoring?

Using a simple app on her phone, Elva received regular check-ins and support during her cancer treatment. Every Tuesday morning, she would get a text asking about her symptoms, and she found it comforting to share her experiences and receive personalized responses. When she had bad weeks, the doctor would provide recommendations to alleviate her discomfort. The app also gave her helpful tips to manage her symptoms better. It was easy to use, taking only a few minutes to complete the survey. Elva felt fortunate that she didn’t have many other symptoms, but the app allowed her to write about anything else she experienced, like details about her medication. Overall, the app proved to be a valuable and convenient tool, providing both guidance and comfort throughout her treatment journey.
