Abstract ED1-3: Where are we going with digital interventions and PROs

Abstract

Abstract Rational: Lately, digital health has shown potential to facilitate cancer care delivery. We now have data that demonstrated that systems integrating self-reporting of common symptoms during treatment for both adjuvant and metastatic breast cancer treatment and allowing for patient remote monitoring result not only result in better quality of life and less emergency room visits, but, in some settings, also lead to significant survival benefit. In addition, some studies incorporating self-management strategies that do not need heavy clinician involvement have shown promising results to manage acute and long and late term physical, social, and psychological effects of cancer and its treatment. Objectives: In this talk, we will 1) review data on the existing digital health solutions that can be used in clinical care. In addition, 2) we will reflect on what is next in digital health innovation, particularly a) how the integration of technology, including digital companions facilitating remote monitoring, education and self-management, may serve as a vehicle to promote continuous care b) innovative emerging digital health tools (including, although not limited to wearables and digital therapeutics).Finally, 3) we will examine how digital health can address the needs of every patient, avoid pitfalls such as contributing to health disparities.
