Clinical Trial Summary

The main aim of the study is the evaluation of the feasibility of comprehensive service which has been developed while considering patient-orientated needs. With regard to the study, apps have been developed for both groups of participants, parents and their child which suffers from cancer. These apps aim at supporting the documentation and communication of the own condition. This includes for example a video game which can be played via tablet or smartphone in which questions appear addressing the personally perceived burden by children amongst other things. Participants of the study are children between 6 and 17 years of age which suffer from leukemia or tumors. Further participants of the study are at least one of the patient's parents. It is an observational study. Within the course of the study, the usual treatment is not altered actively by the study, it is, however, supplemented by questionnaires which will be analyzed being anonymized after the end of the study running time.


Clinical Trial Description
