Mobile health (mHealth) interventions have the capacity to help enhance care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors throughout the care continuum by transmitting data and resources in real-time between patients and the healthcare team across geographic boundaries. In AYA oncology, access to resources varies by survivor characteristics, healthcare system, and geographic location. AYA cancer survivors can use mHealth applications to assist with symptom management and healthcare surveillance. The scientific research on mHealth interventions in AYA oncology is in the early stages of usability and feasibility testing.Time and resource constraints create barriers to developing and testing mHealth interventions with AYA cancer survivors. The purpose of this commentary is to review strategies we have identified that could help to advance mHealth intervention research in AYA oncology. Drawing upon mHealth intervention development and research evaluation tools [1–4] and newly released World Health Organization digital health intervention guidelines [5], we highlight five research considerations and their relevance in AYA oncology: 1) User feedback and involvement, 2) Interoperability, 3) Cost assessments and sustainability, 4) Data security, and 5) Standardized reporting tools.
