Rapid technological developments and numerous mobile and wireless technologies for cancer treatment have been developed and tested for various diseases. Wearable digital therapeutics have emerged as useful tools for managing the clinical course of cancer and improving the quality of life and physical performance of cancer survivors. Mobile and wireless technologies have been shown to be effective in cancer-related pain management, dietary management after cancer surgery, and cancer surveillance management after treatment. More recently, healthcare systems in some countries have been actively promoting and investing in technological innovations to support routine care for various malignancies. To optimize the use of mobile and wireless technologies in the management of gastrointestinal cancers in daily clinical practice, it is necessary to understand the nature of each technology. This review summarizes the background, current status, and future perspectives of mobile and wireless technologies in patients with gastrointestinal malignancies, using randomized or prospective study results.
