RESUMO:

Introduction: About 25% of new antineoplastic agents in development are estimated to be oral drugs, and the number of oral chemotherapy medications is expected to more than double over the next few years. However, the average rate of non-adherence to oral anti-cancer therapy is estimated to be around 21%, that is, poor adherence is a barrier to completing the treatment. Many factors can affect the treatment adherence:  complex dosing regimens, administration of other potentially interacting medications, visual and cognitive impairment, memory deficits or forgetfulness can pose other difficulties. In this context, it is necessary to verify if the use of mobile applications can help the patient to overcome those difficulties and improve the adherence to treatment. We describe the mobile ChemoDaily a novel tool which integrates manage care and oncology treatment with oral drug chemotherapy. Methods: It is applied research in the production modality technological was divided into three steps. First,  this phase involved the needs of the patients in a cancer center  treatment,  search for similar applications in the 'App Store' and 'Play store,' search bibliographic references and the definition of the aims and functions of the App. Second, The design involved the planning and the production of the content, description of the topics of the writing about health education, selection of the forms of media and the design of the interface (layout). Third, the mobile app (ChemoDaily) was developed. The development included the selection of the tools of the multimedia application, the definition of the navigation structure and the planning of the configuration of environments. ChemoDaily was developed as a mobile device application (app) on android platform for Nursing orientations in the use of oral anti-neoplastic chemotherapy.  Results: ChemoDaily is an app designed for patients taking oral chemotherapy at home to clarify doubts such as oral taking chemotherapy and control of side effects. Additionally aims to improve patient communication with health professionals; monitor the symptoms in the chemotherapy diary; clarify uncertainties in the use of chemotherapy; facilitate access to contacts hospital phone calls; collaborate in shared decision-making among health professionals and the patient who uses the chemotherapy diary; access to package inserts. Conclusion: Modern communication technology can be utilized to improve both the self-care and the management of the patient’s long distance. ChemoDaily provides a secure, reliable, easy-to-use tool for patients to monitor your health and record patients’ clinical progress, treatment history; and their intercurrences; their state of humor; manage the stock of medicines; know how to use the medication and nursing care with manipulation and storage; and agenda of consultations. We believe that ChemoDaily will prove to be a powerful and widely used tool, which will enhance both research and clinical practice, as well as adherence to oncologic treatment and patients' quality of life. Anyway, adherence to novel oral therapies is a significant issue, and further research is warranted to improve long-term adherence in oncology practice.
