Brief summary
The use of digital strategies to systematically monitor patients' symptoms in clinical settings allows problems to be detected at an early stage before they worsen or lead to complications. In this study, the hypothesis is that the proportion of patients with a weight loss of at least 5% between before radiotherapy/radiochemotherapy and 3 months after treatment would be lower with optimised care thanks to remote monitoring using a medical telemonitoring solution in oncology.
Interventions
Participants in the intervention arm will use Resilience PRO, a mobile phone application regularly asking participants about their symptoms. For clinically important symptoms, an alert is sent to the care team that can incorporate that information to timely adjust the care of the participants.
