CN11 Patient involvement in development of digital pathway eHealth service

Abstract

The use of eHealth services has increased significantly in recent years. According to earlier publications the eHealth services support patient´s self-management and involvement in their own treatment. The eHealth services are useful in searching for information on cancer disease. They also allow the patients to view a part of their own medical record and to communicate with a healthcare professional regardless of time and place. In eHealth services, patients value simultaneous access to information and healthcare professionals´ support.
