• The MAPLE2 mobile application enables older adults to complete geriatric assessment independently, auto-generates guideline-concordant management recommendations, and produces a personalised question prompt list linked to individual GA results. — Feasibility of a mobile application-based geriatric assessment and communication support intervention for older adults with cancer: protocol for a pilot randomised controlled trial (MAPLE2 pilot)
• The application was built from MAPLE trial data: recorded patient-provider conversations were categorised by GA domain and analysed with text mining to extract frequently selected QPL items and common patient expressions. — Feasibility of a mobile application-based geriatric assessment and communication support intervention for older adults with cancer: protocol for a pilot randomised controlled trial (MAPLE2 pilot)
• The app embeds domain-specific best-practice scenarios built algorithmically from MAPLE data, enabling tailored guidance without face-to-face facilitation by trained providers. — Feasibility of a mobile application-based geriatric assessment and communication support intervention for older adults with cancer: protocol for a pilot randomised controlled trial (MAPLE2 pilot)
• Research staff provide step-by-step guidance and real-time technical support for participants who have limited digital literacy. — Feasibility of a mobile application-based geriatric assessment and communication support intervention for older adults with cancer: protocol for a pilot randomised controlled trial (MAPLE2 pilot)
• Completing the app-based intervention takes an estimated 30–40 minutes, with an additional 10–20 minutes for baseline GA and questionnaires. — Feasibility of a mobile application-based geriatric assessment and communication support intervention for older adults with cancer: protocol for a pilot randomised controlled trial (MAPLE2 pilot)
• Automating GA and communication support through the mobile application is intended to eliminate the workforce and time barriers that have constrained GA adoption in routine oncology practice. — Feasibility of a mobile application-based geriatric assessment and communication support intervention for older adults with cancer: protocol for a pilot randomised controlled trial (MAPLE2 pilot)
