Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare health-related quality of life, specifically fatigue, in melanoma patients treated with immunotherapy who use or do not use a patient-centered mobile coaching and monitoring system (CAPABLE). It is expected that by using the CAPABLE eHealth tool, patients' fatigue worsens less significantly (10 points) in the first 3 months follow-up than observed in usual care.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Change in fatigue between baseline and 3 and 6 months, as measured by fatigue symptom scale of The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30)
Fatigue is measured on a score from 0-100, the lower the score the less fatigue a patient has
Baseline, month 3, month 6
Secondary Outcomes (11)
Change in health-related quality of life and QALY's between baseline and 3 and 6 months, as measured by The EuroQoL-5D (EQ-5D-5L).
Baseline, month 3, month 6
Change in health-related quality of life and physical symptoms between baseline and 3 and 6 months, as measured by the EORTC QLQ-C30
Baseline, month 3, month 6
Change in melanoma specific quality of life between baseline and 3 and 6 months, as measured by the FACT-M
Baseline, month 3, month 6
Change in patient reported immunotherapy-related toxicity between baseline and 3 and 6 months, as measured by a self-developed questionnaire using EORTC item bank items
Baseline, month 3, month 6
Change in psychological distress between baseline and 6 months, as measured by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).
Baseline, month 6

Interventions
The CAPABLE system serves three main goals for the patient: symptom monitoring, information needs fulfilment and interventions to improve mental- and physical wellbeing. These are available to the patient as a smartphone application that is connected to a smartwatch to monitor activity, blood pressure, sleep and heart rate. Patients are able to report symptoms experienced from the treatment and are eligible to do interventions such as mindfulness or yoga. Patients will receive the CAPABLE application and smartwatch for a minimum 3 to a maximum of 6 months after start treatment.
