The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded a $1,128,600 Project Grant (CFDA 93.393 - Cancer Cause and Prevention Research) to the University of Utah to develop and evaluate a clinician-facing mobile app that integrates pediatric cancer patient-reported symptom data with electronic health records (EHRs). The project, titled "mHealth Intervention to Support Symptom Communication for Children with Cancer", aims to improve symptom management and quality of life for children undergoing cancer treatment by enhancing communication between patients, parents, and clinicians. Key components include user-centered design of an EHR-integrated app and a single-site trial to assess the intervention's efficacy during the early cancer treatment period. The 5-year project will run from July 2024 to June 2029 and builds on the university's prior work developing a child-centric symptom reporting app. This federal grant award supports the University of Utah's expertise in digital health tools and patient-generated health data integration to deliver more effective, evidence-based care for children with cancer.
