Patients\u2019 lack of adherence to analgesics is one of the major factors contributing to the undertreatment of cancer pain. The objective of this paper is to outline the development of a mobile application-based system to develop a physician-patient relationship and to improve adherence to medications prescribed for cancer pain management.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nMaterial and Methods:<\/jats:title>\nThe mobile application-based system is developed using alarm and cloud based data sysncronisation for improving medication adherence and self-recording symptoms among cancer patients receiving palliative therapy at a palliative care clinic.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nResults:<\/jats:title>\nTen palliative medicine physicians tested the project website and the mobile application thoroughly instead of patients. The physician recoded the prescription and other details on the project website. The data transferred from website to mobile application. The mobile application reminded scheduled medication by alarm, collected medical adherence details, daily symptom observation, and their severity and SOS medication details. The data from the mobile application was transferred back to project website successfully.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nConclusion:<\/jats:title>\nThe developed system can directly improve the physician-patient relationship, and improve better communication and sharing of information between physician and patient. This will impact the quality of life of the patient, improve the awareness of the patient about the disease, and may reduce rate of hospitalisation. This will also help physicians to treat patients efficiently. The developed system is being tested under a randomised control trial study. The findings of the study can be generalised to all patients suffering from chronic illnesses and on long-term medications.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/ijpc_12_2021","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,20]],"date-time":"2023-01-20T11:20:44Z","timestamp":1674213644000},"page":"51-56","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Development of Mobile Application-Based System for Improving Medication Adherence Among Cancer Patients Receiving Palliative Therapy"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"L.","family":"Gopichandran","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Nursing, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rakesh","family":"Garg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Onco-Anaesthesiology and Palliative Medicine, Dr. B.
