Abstract

Applications for electronic health (e-health) and mobile health (m-health) make up technology-based interventions.


Objectives: to assess how technology-based treatments in pediatric oncology affect parent and child outcomes.


Materials and methods: The methodology for this study was systematic review. The study's protocol (CRD42022297664) was registered in the PROSPERO database. The PRISMA (favored reporting elements for meta-analyses and systematic reviews) guidelines were adhered to in this systematic review. The population, comparison, intervention, result, and research design approach served as the foundation for the inclusion criteria in this investigation.


Results, and Conclusion: Technology-based interventions can significantly increased the lives of parents and children with tumor, easing psychological and physical symptoms, and coping mechanisms. However, due to small sample sizes and limited studies, caution is advised. Further research is needed for the best efficacy of technology-based therapies.
