Digital Patient-Reported Outcome Platform for Personalized Cancer Care Pathways

healthTestedTRL 6

Imagine if your doctor knew exactly how you felt and what you needed every day, not just during a 15-minute appointment. This system lets cancer patients use an app to share their symptoms and preferences in real-time. It acts like a digital bridge, ensuring the medical team adjusts the treatment plan to fit the person, not just the disease.

The business problem

What needed solving

Cancer care is currently fragmented into silos, lacking technical tools that allow patients to communicate their physical and social needs in real-time to their care teams.

The solution

What was built

A digital platform for ePROMs and ePREMs integrated with EMRs, and evidence-based patient-centred care pathways.

Who can put this to work

HealthTech
SME
Target: eHealth platform provider

If you are a platform provider dealing with fragmented patient data — this project developed a digital solution integrated with EMRs that allows real-time tracking of patient-reported outcomes. This improves the value of the software for oncology clinics across 10 different countries.

Healthcare Providers
mid-size
Target: Private Oncology Clinic

If you are a clinic manager dealing with inefficient care coordination — this project developed evidence-based care pathways that reduce variations in clinical practice. This optimizes resources in hospital and community care settings.

Medical Software
enterprise
Target: Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Vendor

If you are a software vendor dealing with low user engagement from patients — this project developed a secure interface for ePROMs and ePREMs. This allows for seamless integration of patient voices directly into the clinical workflow.
