Inside the Practice: Inside A Cancer Symptom Management App

Ovarian cancer can bring an onslaught of more than a dozen symptoms, as well as lingering anxiety and other difficulties for patients and their caregivers. Heidi Donovan, a professor at the University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing is working with app developer Haomin (Leon) Hu to change that. Their app, which is currently in the early stages of development and is slated to launch next year, will help patients and their caregivers track and manage symptoms, leading to a better feeling of control over the disease.
