In order to promote equity, patients without a smartphone were provided with a device, with the phone charges paid by program funds. Each month, patients completed the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), and 4 single items assessing fatigue, sleep quality, pain, and global quality of life during the past 7\u00a0days rated on a 0 (low)\u00a0\u201310 (high) scale.

Average adherence with monthly surveys ranged between 75\u201377%, with breast patients having lower adherence after 5\u00a0months. The most commonly reported symptoms across cancer types were moderate levels (scores of 4\u20137) of fatigue and sleep disturbance.
