Digital Technologies in Supportive Head and Neck Cancer Care: A Promise?

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

This paper addresses the role of digital technologies as part of supportive cancer care, which is of relevance considering the ongoing shortage in healthcare services and the increasing incidence and survival rates in head and neck cancer. Research and development following a participatory design approach helps to deliver patient-centered, effective and efficient applications ready to be used either as adjunctive, guided or fully automated technology. Implementation and upscaling of evidence-based digital technologies in routine cancer care remains a challenge.
