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.
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.
