About this trial

A multicentre randomised controlled trial (RCT) will be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the digital personalised Melanoma Survivorship Care Plan (SCP) app. A total of hundred-eighty melanoma patients (stage I and II) will be randomised to receive either the SCP Melanoma app or usual care. The app provides survivors with personalized healthcare information on diagnosis, treatment and follow-up and supportive care, tailored to their melanoma stage and phase and information needs.Through questionnaires, medical file records, patient-reported outcomes and use of medical care will be evaluated. In addition, log-data, questionnaires and interviews will be used to evaluate the process of the uptake and implementation of the digital SCP.
