Multi-center prospective pilot trial study

Read the detailed description

This is a clinical study to evaluate impact of dietary smartphone application on nutritional status among cancer patients. the study hypotheses there is improvement in nutritional outcome in intervention group if compare with control group. the eligible subjects will be screened according to inclusion criteria and approached individually to participate in this study. The consented subjects will be divided randomly into two groups, intervention and conventional groups. Conventional dietitian care will be given to conventional group (CG) while intervention group (IG) will received innovated dietitian care where they will be introduced with iDSA apps and installed in consented subjects' smartphone. All subjects will be reviewed again by dietitian in 1-month time to assess nutritional status (weight and energy protein intake) as well as nutrition impact symptoms.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • artificial intelligence dietary android mobile applicationDevice

    Also called iDSA

    subjects use artificial intelligence dietary mobile application to monitor dietary intake

Study groups in NCT04643626
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
IGExperimentalartificial intelligence dietary application, iDSA, will be introduced and installed. Explanation on the function and application of iDSA will be given. Daily energy and macro-nutrients requirement target will bed set. The daily energy and macronutrients requirement target is secured by password. Subjects will record their daily dietary intake (food with cooking method and portion size) and nutrition impact symptoms via smartphone application at least 3 times a week. Subjects able to keep track their intake at home. During follow up session, subjects show the iDSA diet intake summary records to Researcher for further assessment.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. weight changes

    compare weight before intervention and after intervention

    Measured: one month

  2. daily energy intake

    compare daily energy intake before intervention and after intervention

    Measured: one month

  3. daily protein intake

    compare daily protein intake before intervention and after intervention

    Measured: one month

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. PG-SGA score

    compare PG-SGA score (numerical data) before intervention and after intervention

    Measured: one month

  2. Nutrition Impact Symptoms (NIS)

    compare NIS score (scale data) before intervention and after intervention. The score range from 1 to 5 where score 1 is better while score 5 is worst

    Measured: one month
