Conditions
Summary
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted healthcare service delivery, highlighting the need for high quality virtual patient care. Our team has developed a multi-dimensional remote eHealth solution for newly diagnosed breast cancer patients and their practitioners to use during the diagnostic and follow-up period. The ABODE study involved development of a Breast Cancer Treatment Application (app) which will facilitate virtual consultations, deliver patient education material, and collect patient reported outcome measures (PROMs). Using a randomized controlled trial design, the team will evaluate a variety of outcomes for breast cancer patients who will use the app throughout their diagnosis and treatment period. Primary Objective: To compare changes in patient activation (assessed by PAM-13) over 1 year among newly diagnosed breast cancer patients between those using the app and those receiving standard care. Secondary Objectives: 1. Compare additional PROMs between the standard care and intervention groups 2. Describe health service outcomes among app users 3. Explore end-user experience of using the app 4. Measure activity levels using wearable devices
