Mobile Apps for Oncology Health Care Professionals: Mapping and Assessment Study
The study highlights a fragmented landscape of free mobile apps for cancer care professionals, with predominantly low to moderate quality and limited evidence to support clinical effectiveness. ONCOassist emerges as a promising tool warranting further investigation. This underscores the urgent need for standardized evaluation frameworks, regulatory oversight, and sustainable development strategies to ensure the creation and adoption of reliable, evidence-based digital health tools in oncology.
