Pilot study at Charité Berlin
A 12-week pilot study conducted at Charité Berlin looked at whether supporting cancer treatment with Mika had any effect. The patients who took part in the study had all been diagnosed with gynecological tumors.
Patients who used Mika reported a 23% reduction in feelings of fatigue and a 42% reduction in psychological distress after 12 weeks of using the app. This comparison was based on self-reported feelings in the 12-week period prior to using the app.
[1] Prospective Randomized Controlled Pilot Study of the Clinical Efficacy of the Fosanis Mika App 2020
Trial at University Hospital Leipzig
A randomized controlled trial (RCT) conducted at University Hospital Leipzig compared the effects of the Mika app on a group of patients over 12 weeks to a control group who did not use the app over the same period.
A number of distress-related parameters were assessed and found to be reduced in Mika app users:
- Psychological distress
- Symptoms of depression
- Anxiety symptoms
- Fatigue
This trial established that Mika is a clinically-effective psycho-oncological treatment support that can improve the mental health and wellbeing of cancer patients.
The study will soon be published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research.
