Digital Patient–Reported Cancer Symptom Management: Comparison of Black and White Participants
Carefully designed digital health technologies can be acceptable and beneficial in reducing symptom burden for both Blacks and Whites. All patients, but particularly Black patients, may benefit from tailored encouragement strategies to report their symptoms. This paper provides evidence that ePRO reporting systems do not perpetuate inequity but, in fact, benefit cancer patients across racial groups.
