This study is testing a new way to support people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer between doctor visits. Instead of managing your care the traditional way, some patients will use a smartphone platform that sends appointment reminders, medication reminders, and tracks how you're feeling. Researchers want to see if this extra support helps patients live longer, feel better, and stick with their treatment plan.
Many lung cancer patients struggle to take medications as prescribed, forget appointments, or feel anxious and isolated between hospital visits—all of which can reduce how well treatment works. This study aims to see if a smartphone tool can bridge that gap and give patients the support they need to succeed with their cancer care.

If you join, you'll be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will use the smartphone app to report symptoms, get reminders for medications and appointments, and access educational materials about your cancer care. The other group will receive the standard hospital follow-up routine. Either way, you'll be followed over time to see how you're doing, and researchers will compare how the two groups fare in terms of survival and quality of life.
