Using a cognitive app to assess brain tumor patients' quality of life

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational registry study aims to evaluate the feasibility of using the Brainlab Cognition app in a neuro-oncology clinic to assess neurocognitive function among patients with central nervous system tumors. It will also explore the integration of electronically reported quality of life parameters into clinical practice. The study will involve adult patients treated for brain tumors at the Miami Cancer Institute, focusing on their experiences and outcomes post-treatment. Data will be collected prospectively to inform future clinical applications.
