Overview

Systematic review shows digital technology is feasible and accepted for physical activity and nutrition in incurable cancer patients, indicating potential benefits for wellbeing.

Key Points

  • Digital technology-based interventions were mostly feasible and well-accepted by individuals with incurable cancer.
  • High retention rates and participant satisfaction highlight the success of these digital supportive care interventions.
  • Twenty-nine studies explored the impact of digital technology on physical activity and nutrition for cancer patients.
  • Future research should focus on standardised tools and adequately powered studies to enhance generalisability and outcomes.
