The support app provides tailored advice to patients undergoing treatment for cancer,, and the app will be trialled in colorectal, breast and lung cancer patients across four NHS sites - helping them to better self-manage their medications, side effects, symptoms and lifestyles.
The app seamlessly integrates with smartphone technology, and it is hoped that its use can improve quality of life and reduce the use of emergency healthcare in patients undergoing treatment.

The trial will be sponsored by University of Surrey and run by Surrey Clinical Trials Unit, led by Professor Simon Skene and Dr Agnieszka Michael.
