The European Public Health Conference (EPH) 2023 has provided an opportunity to bring together some of the eCAN Work Package (WP) leaders. In particular, WP2 (Communication) and WP4 (Sustainability) have presented posters reflecting on the progress of the Joint Action, each focusing on their respective areas. 

On the one hand, Elisa Piñón and Edgar Hans from WP2, led by the Institut Català d’Oncologia (ICO), have displayed their poster entitled “Bringing an EU Joint Action to TikTok: the case of eCAN“. The banner explains the communication team’s decision to use this social network, among others, to communicate the progress and outcomes of the European project. It also provides some preliminary results on the performance of TikTok in terms of followers, posts and engagement. 

On the other hand, Claudia Habl, a member of WP4 led by Gesundheit Österreich GmbH (GÖG), also presented her team’s poster entitled “JA eCAN roadmap towards a sustainable implementation of eHealth initiatives in cancer care“. It describes the process of collecting information on EU Member States through expert-validated national factsheets, which will lead to map eHealth and cancer care policies across Europe. 

TikTok as a tool for science communication 

Elisa Piñón, lead author of the WP2 poster, argues that “so far, TikTok has shown higher engagement rates than other audio-visual social media, such as Instagram and YouTube, despite having lower number of posts and followers”.

“It is not common for European projects to choose TikTok as one of their outreach tools”, says Edgar Hans, also author of the WP2 poster. “However, there are good examples of science communication on this platform, it allows us to reach different audiences and promote our creativity when talking about eCAN. We believe it is worth a try”, he concludes. 

According to the authors of the poster, the Chinese social network has several strengths. These include the opportunity to innovate in the communication of European health projects, with unexplored and attractive formats, or a greater likelihood of achieving a large reach and impact in a short time. 

Showcasing eHealth policies and initiatives across Europe 

The WP4 poster also includes contributions from members of WP1 (Coordination) and WP2. By collecting data from EU/EEA Member States, the Sustainability WP aims to provide an overview of European eHealth policies and initiatives with a focus on cancer. The project website will display the validated information in a dashboard with maps and indicators during next year.

Looking in detail at the data collected so far, preliminary results show a wide variation in the use of telemedicine in cancer care, despite the fact that most EU countries have a national eHealth strategy in place. The results will be further analysed in practical cases and situations, including telerehabilitation and psychosocial support in breast and head & neck cancer treatment. 

EPH’s flagship theme, One Health 

Since 1992, the European Public Health Association (EUPHA) has organised the EPH Conference, the biggest annual public health event in Europe bringing together research, practice, policy and education. The 16th edition, that has been held in Dublin between the 8th and the 11th of November with more than 2,450 delegates worldwide, has addressed diverse topics related to the concept One Health.

This term, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), refers to an integrated, unifying approach that aims to sustainably balance and optimise the health of people, animals and ecosystems. It recognises that the health of humans, domestic and wild animals, plants, and the wider environment (including ecosystems) are closely linked and interdependent.  

The theme of the forthcoming 17th European Public Health Conference 2024, to be held in Lisbon, Portugal, will be “Sailing the Waves of European Public Health: Exploring a Sea of Innovation”.

    The EU project eCAN JA proposes key recommendations to integrate telemedicine in cancer care2 December 2024 - 09:28

    The European project eCAN Joint Action (JA) has presented a guide of recommendations to integrate telemedicine in European healthcare systems for cancer prevention and care. The presentation has taken place in Brussels last Friday, at the BIP Meeting Center. For two years, the project has explored the role of teleconsultation and telerehabilitation. Its main goal was to identify necessary actions to strengthen the adoption of telemedicine for cancer prevention and care and the use of digital tools for reducing cancer care inequalities across the EU. 

  • Cancer pilots results
    eCAN pilots results point to digital health as an adequate support for cancer patients28 November 2024 - 12:11

    The eCAN pilots focused on remote rehabilitation and virtual psychological support for breast, head & neck, and advanced cancer patients, conclude that the digital health approach has a positive impact on people with cancer and can be useful to improve patient compliance in reporting outcomes and experiences.

  • Artemis Komatina, psychologist involved in the pilots: “In order to promote technology within healthcare settings, we need to start with our healthcare professionals”.21 November 2024 - 08:56

    In the fourth and last episode of this podcast, we’ve talked to four psychologists, one physiotherapist and one primary investigator. They have shared with us their reflection on these clinical trials. After all the work that has been done, now it is time to collect their feedback to start thinking about future actions. Their experience not only guide our next steps, but also help us to understand the main challenges and where our efforts are most needed.

  • Sofia Adão, physiotherapist involved in the pilots: “It’s a good strategy, not so easy to apply because of time-consuming aspects”12 November 2024 - 09:00

    In this third episode, we’ve talk to the healthcare professionals involved about the chances of applying the eCAN experience to the European healthcare ecosystems. What would we need to implement the telemedicine tools that we tested in regional hospitals or cancer centres? They highlight some of the features that must be taken into account to translate these clinical trials into daily common practice within hospitals. We invite you to press play and listen to their reflection on this topic.

  • Constantina Palala, psychologist: “The feedback was positive, and some sessions were actually very good through the online platform”29 October 2024 - 08:53

    In this second episode of the eCAN Bites, we’ve interviewed one of the primary investigators of this resarch, one physiotherapist that worked with breast and head and neck cancer patients, and two clinical psychologists that offered online therapy to cancer patients. We want to share the patients’ experiences through their voices and these four professionals have helped us to build a clearer picture on what patients needed and expected. We invite you to press play and listen to their experiences, you might be surprised by the importance of the very small details when doing a transnational study like this one.
