Kaiku® seems to be a suitable tool to monitor side effects and quality of life during and after radiotherapy among HNC patients. Kaiku® and similar tools could be useful in organizing a cost-effective follow-up process for HNC patients. We recommend conducting a larger study to further assess the impact of an ePRO solution in routine clinical practice. ePRO solutions may aid in the follow-up for cancer patients.They seem suitable to monitor, for example, side effects and quality of life.These systems ensure fast patient-driven reporting.
