Summary

Malignant tumors are one of the major public health problems in China, and cancer pain is a common symptom in tumor patients, affecting the quality of life. In rural areas, cancer pain management is challenging due to insufficient medical resources and limitations in understanding cancer pain. Investigators plan to develop a convenient patient self-reporting applet to help participants report their symptoms to primary care physicians promptly and monitor pain levels and medication in real-time. This project aims to improve the efficiency of cancer pain management, integrate cancer pain into chronic disease management, improve the quality of healthcare services for rural participants, and promote the construction of a healthy China.

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	a patient self-reporting applet	We propose to develop a patient self-reporting applet that is easy to use and simple to operate. The program is embedded with questionnaires related to cancer pain and quality of life assessment, so that patients can fill out the questionnaires to report their symptoms and changes in their conditions to primary care doctors in a timely manner. At the same time, the background of the program will monitor the patient's indicators in real time. When the patient's pain reaches moderate-to-severe level, or when the patient experiences side effects of drugs, or when the patient's adherence to medication is poor, the primary care doctor can immediately receive relevant alerts through the app, so as to intervene in the patient's cancer pain treatment. When the patient has an "alarm value", primary care doctors can provide feedback to doctors in higher-level hospitals and implement comprehensive and standardized treatment for cancer pain patients.
