It consists of 4 questions on the intensity and frequency of nausea and/or vomiting after a chemotherapy session, during the first 24 hours and the delayed period (from the day after to 4 days after chemotherapy). By completing the MAT test from their iPhone/iPad devices, patients have the possibility to send the records to their doctors or nurses in real time.
