Studies

Patient involvement is essential to offer quality oncology care and to advance oncology care research.

The digital patient self-reported symptoms enable regular evaluation of patient’s symptoms and condition and improve the efficiency and the quality of medical care.

The benefit of electronic tools (smart applications) is to promote the success of cancer therapy, to reduce the physical toxicity of therapy, to maintain the quality of life of the patient, within the family and in the society. Digital health increases patient’s communication with the treating physicians, within or outside the oncology team and structure and reduces the economic costs of cancer therapy.

The benefits of e-health and patients’ wishes are reflected in the written words by Paula Miller, February 2019. “It is very important to create an electronic file, a system for scheduling, organizing and archiving. When the disease progresses and at the same time the patient works, the organization of appointments, check-ups and medical results are absolutely necessary.
