Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

The goal of this clinical trial is to adapt, implement, and evaluate MyCarePulse and ASCENT patient navigator to overcome barriers to care among patients with cancer. The main hypotheses it aims to test are: * At the patient level, the intervention will result in higher levels of food security, self- efficacy for dietary behaviors, and higher diet quality than standard care. * At the provider level, the intervention will be feasible, acceptable, appropriate, and able to enhance individualized care for patient wellness. Researchers will compare cancer patients receiving the MyCarePulse and ASCENT patient navigator intervention to those receiving standard care, to see if the intervention improves food security, self-efficacy, and diet quality. Phase 1 Patient Participants will: * Complete the ASCENT Questionnaire, which is comprised of the following: * U.S. Food Security Survey Module (U.S. FSSM) * Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS-29) * Automated Self-Administered 24-Hour (ASA24®) Dietary Assessment Tool * Be assessed using the Veggie Meter instrument * Participate in two semi-structured interviews Provider Participants will: •Participate in one semi-structured interview Phase 2 Patient Participants will: * Participate in ASCENT patient navigator screenings and consultations * Complete the ASCENT Questionnaire, which comprises the U.S. FSSM, PROMIS-29, and ASA24®

Target number of participants: 100
Treatments
No_intervention: Participants receiving Standard care and MyCarePulse
Participants not receiving the ASCENT Patient Navigator intervention, but are still utilizing MyCarePulse for comparison purposes. This arm will be conducted in phase 2 of the study and will have 50 participants (25 per site).
Experimental: Participants receiving ASCENT Patient Navigator (PN) Intervention and MyCarePulse
Participants will be receiving the ASCENT Patient Navigator intervention, and the MyCarePulse tool will flag participants who need assistance. They will then be connected to an ASCENT Patient Navigator to get those needs assessed. This arm will be conducted in phase 2 of the study and will have 50 participants (25 per site).
