Study results support the preliminary feasibility and acceptability of the app. Children's and parents' responses supported the developmental relevance of the app and its role in enhancing the child's autonomy and serving as an outlet for creativity. Future directions include optimizing the child user's experience and investigating the app's role as a resource to enhance shared decision-making for symptom management.
