This R25 is a free NIH sponsored technology training for cancer clinicians: social workers, RNs. APPs, psychologists, psychiatrists, and oncologists. The essence of the training includes getting hands-on experience using digital apps, common wearable devices, and other tools to extend their clinical interventions with patients. This training also addresses the top concerns of cancer patients, which include fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, depression, and pain.
