Web-Based Application for Patient Reporting and Cancer Supportive Care Referral

Description: This web application is designed for cancer patients and nurses, enabling the collection of Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROMs) and facilitating personalized referrals to supportive care services. Patients can report their health issues and emotional distress through a user-friendly interface. The collected data is then provided to nurses via a dashboard, allowing them to make tailored recommendations for further supportive care during consultations.
 

Primary Users:

  • Cancer Patients: Report their symptoms and needs through the app.
  • Nurses: Visualize patient reports during nursing consultations and refer patients to appropriate supportive care services.

 

Functionality:

  1. Patients fill out health questionnaires before their nursing consultations.
  2. The data is displayed on a dashboard for nurses to review.
  3. Based on patients' responses, nurses provide referrals to additional care services.

 

Objective: Enhance supportive care for patients by integrating digital health data into the clinical workflow and promoting patient-centered care.
