What this trial studies
This multicenter randomized controlled trial evaluates the effectiveness of the Digizorg Melanoma Survivorship Care Plan app for patients diagnosed with stage I and II melanoma. A total of 180 participants will be randomized to receive either the app or usual care, with the app providing tailored healthcare information based on their specific melanoma stage and needs. The study will assess patient empowerment, satisfaction with information and care, and healthcare utilization through questionnaires and medical records over a 12-month period. Additionally, the process of app uptake and implementation will be evaluated through interviews and log-data analysis.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this app could enhance patient empowerment and satisfaction in melanoma survivorship care.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in using digital tools for personalized patient care, making this approach both relevant and potentially impactful.
