The eHealth Initiative, a Washington-based not-for-profit, has released a guide for patients and families detailing the available digital tools and technologies for cancer care.
Divided into five categories, such as “tools for decision making” and “tools for lifestyle management,” the guide features 76 digital tools, including websites, software and mobile applications.
Under the heading “tools for education,” for instance, the guide lists 16 tools, including a mobile application from the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship and an informational website from the College of American Pathologists. The guide also includes 11 tools for lifestyle management, such as a mobile application for calorie counting and fitness, and a sun-exposure application from the Environmental Protection Agency.
