Mobile Health Technology Ownership and Use Among Cancer Survivors in a Health System.
Article in Cancer reports (Hoboken, N.J.), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPhysical activity (PA) is associated with improved health outcomes among cancer survivors (CS), yet PA participation and access to PA programs in cancer care are low. Mobile health (mHealth) technologies such as wearable activity trackers and smartphone lifestyle applications are promising strategies to promote PA among CS. However, CS's adoption patterns and willingness to share resulting mHealth data with healthcare providers are underexplored.
aimsThis study examined mHealth technology ownership and usage as well as willingness to share wearable data with healthcare providers among CS and identified demographic and health-related correlates.
methodsSelf-reported data were collected from post treatment CS (n = 518; M
resultsNearly all CS (97.5%) owned a smartphone. Over half (52.9%) owned an activity tracker, and one-third (32.4%) used a lifestyle app. Most (64.3%) were willing to share wearable data with healthcare providers. Participants with a college degree or higher income, those who met PA guidelines, and those who were obese were more likely to own a wearable activity tracker. Along with those factors, younger age (< 65) and full-time employment were also associated with a higher likelihood of using a lifestyle app (p < 0.05). Being employed full-time was significantly associated with willingness to share data with a healthcare provider. No other relationships were significant.
conclusionsMany CS use or are open to using mHealth technologies. However, differences in adoption by demographic characteristics and unclear demographic and disease correlates of willingness to share data highlight the need for targeted, inclusive, and evidence-based strategies to integrate these tools into survivorship care. Understanding who adopts mHealth technologies is essential to optimizing their potential to improve long-term cancer outcomes.
