Participants’ Perspectives on the iCareBreast Mobile-Based Perioperative Care Program for Women Undergoing Breast Cancer Surgery: Qualitative Process Evaluation

The iCareBreast app was perceived as a supportive tool during the perioperative period, helping patients navigate both informational and emotional challenges. However, the findings underscore the importance of extending content across the treatment continuum and enhancing personalization and interactivity. mHealth interventions should be responsive to patients' evolving needs and integrated into clinical care pathways to provide timely, comprehensive, tailored, and ongoing support for women with breast cancer.
