Cross-sectional survey highlights patient empowerment and data sharing in breast cancer mobile health apps, suggesting better alignment with patient needs is crucial.
The findings underscore the potential of mHealth apps to empower patients with breast cancer by improving health literacy and supporting self-management. To maximize their impact, future digital health tools must align closely with patient needs by incorporating adaptive, interactive features and integrating seamlessly with clinical care. Addressing key barriers-particularly data privacy and usability issues-is essential for broader adoption. Longitudinal studies are warranted to evaluate the long-term effects of health app usage on patient empowerment, quality of life, and clinical outcomes.
