SCH was created to help patients keep track of symptoms they might be experiencing. Originally developed to monitor or collect information from patients receiving chemotherapy, SCH is now being used to study symptoms of patients with other health issues.

SCH is a computerized system that uses either a smartphone app, a telephone call, or a patient web portal for patients to enter and track their symptoms. As a participant, you should report your information according to the instructions given to you when you signed up to participate in the study.

If you have symptoms occurring at high levels or that are recurring on several days, you should contact your medical care team directly for assistance in managing those symptoms.
