Abstract

Malignant tumor is the second leading cause of death in the world. In addition to the suffering of patients, cancer also imposes a large economic burden on families and society, and affects the health outcomes of patients. With the rapid development of the Internet, people’s demand for online and mobile health applications (Apps) is further increasing. At present, there are many clinical studies on mobile health APP outside China, but relatively few in China. In this study, the definition, development status and intervention effects of mobile health APP were comprehensively reviewed, so as to provide a reference for more studies on mobile health APP in cancer patients.

Key words: mobile health APP, cancer patients, nursing intervention.
