Technological advancements in the capabilities of modern smartphones offer tremendous potential to generate big data from small devices that could influence oncologists' decision-making. Here we describe the value of patient-generated health data (PGHD) that can be captured using mobile devices. We comment on the current use of smartphones in oncology clinical research and describe how smartphones will bring big data into the oncology clinic by enabling continuous patient monitoring, information sharing, and personalized clinical decision making in cancer care. Lastly, we describe practical considerations about how we can access and store PGHD in the future, describing how to harness the clinical value of PGHD and comment on the emerging applications for digital biomarkers captured by smartphones.
现代智能手机功能的技术进步为从小型设备中生成大数据提供了巨大的潜力，这可能会影响肿瘤学家的决策。在这里，我们描述了可以使用移动设备捕获的患者生成的健康数据 (PGHD) 的价值。我们评论了智能手机在肿瘤学临床研究中的当前使用情况，并描述了智能手机如何通过实现患者的连续监测、信息共享以及个性化的临床决策，将大数据带入肿瘤学临床。最后，我们描述了未来访问和存储 PGHD 的实际考虑因素，描述了如何利用 PGHD 的临床价值，并评论了智能手机捕获的数字生物标志物的新兴应用。
