Outline of Final Research Achievements	The study aimed to develop a web application that assists gastric cancer patients who have undergone gastrectomy in managing their health and establish a self-management support program using this tool. Additionally, the effectiveness of the intervention was examined. The web application allowed patients to conveniently record information such as diet, weight, and post-gastrectomy symptoms, which were visualized through graphs and chat screens. Through continuous use, it is expected that patients will reflect on their lives and symptoms, leading to self-management. The next step involves conducting an intervention using this system to verify its effectiveness.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	胃切除術後患者は、長期にわたり術後の機能障害に悩まされている。医療者の継続的な支援を必要としているが、医療者と関わる機会は少なく、患者自身が自己の症状をマネジメントしていく必要がある。本研究で開発したWebアプリは、セルフケアに必要な症状の記録のみならず、遠隔で医療者と関わることもでき、利便性が高い。スマートフォンなどＩＣＴ技術が一般化しつつある中で、その汎用性は高く、患者のセルフケア支援に活用されることが期待される。
