Study Summary
Distress is common among cancer patients, and many do not receive the support they need. The study aimed to test the effectiveness of Mika, a digital app, in reducing distress in cancer patients.
Methods
- Patients with cancer in Germany were enrolled in a trial.
- Participants were split into two groups: one using the Mika app alongside usual care, and the other receiving usual care alone.
- Assessments were completed online at the start, and at 2, 6, and 12 weeks.
Results
- The group using Mika reported greater reductions in distress, depression, anxiety, and fatigue compared to the control group.
- Overall, Mika effectively reduced distress in cancer patients.
Conclusion
Mika, as a digital therapeutic, provides tailored support to address the unmet needs of cancer patients.
