Full description
There is still little knowledge about how smartphone apps can improve the quality of life in prostate cancer patients. Hence, the investigators are interested in finding out whether the simplified access to information and planning of activities increases the perceived social support in prostate cancer patients and ultimately improves their quality of life.
The duration of the study is approximately three months per participant. The WINGS smartphone application can be used from home and questionnaires can be completed online. Participants are therefore not required to be present at the University Hospital Basel during the entire course of the present study.
The investigators plan to recruit a total of 30 prostate cancer patients at the University Hospital Basel and 0-10 supporters (family members and friends) per prostate cancer patient. All study participants will have access to the regular treatment services of the University Hospital Basel.
