Using mobile apps to promote health

Abstract

This is the first study to demonstrate the app effectiveness with multi-center randomized controlled trials for women with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy in China. Our study has global significance because mobile apps are being increasingly utilized as supplementary interventions for individuals when it is not feasible to provide face-to-face interventions.
