Improving Lung Cancer Screening Rates with Mobile Technology

This study is testing different ways to encourage eligible people to get screened for lung cancer. It's looking at whether sending messages through a patient portal (an online health record system) or text messages, with or without reminders, helps more people get a lung cancer screening CT scan. Some participants will receive a portal message with reminder texts, others will get a text message with reminders, and some will only get a portal message. A fourth group will receive usual care, meaning no special messages from the study. The study wants to see how many people complete a lung screening CT within 90 days. You might be able to join if you are between 50 and 77 years old, have a history of smoking, and are a patient at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist.
