About this study

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.
