Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Digital health technologies have started to play a fundamental role in healthcare by enhancing patient diagnosis and (remote) monitoring, streamlining processes, enabling precision medicine with data analytics, and improving healthcare access through telemedicine. As the healthcare landscape evolves, digital innovations are transforming cancer care, from early detection to precision treatment, monitoring and patient support.

We invite researchers, clinicians, and technologists to share their insights, studies, and innovations in digital health technologies applied in cancer management. Topics of interest include but are not limited to AI-driven diagnostics, telemedicine, wearable devices, and data analytics.

Do not miss this opportunity to contribute to the advancement of cancer care through digital health technologies. Submit your cutting-edge research today and shape the future of oncology.

The influence of digitalization on information-seeking, decision-making properties of patients, therapy monitoring, and patient–physician interactions has and will change the global health sector tremendously. With this study, we add knowledge on the degree of digitalization, digital device availability, the use and availability of home and mobile internet access, and the willingness to use novel forms of patient–physician interactions in a group of gynecologic cancer patients. From July 2017 to March 2022, 150 women with a diagnosis of gynecologic malignancy at the University Hospital of Cologne participated in this questionnaire-based cohort study. Any one of three potential internet access devices (stationary computer, smartphone, or tablet) is owned by 94% of patients and the only patient intrinsic factor that is significantly associated with the property of any one of these internet access devices is age. The Internet is used daily or several times per week to assess information on their disease by 92.8%, 90.1% use the Internet for communicational purposes and 71.9% and 93.6% are willing to communicate with their treating physicians via E-Mail or even novel forms of communication, respectively. In conclusion, the predominant majority of gynecologic cancer patients can be reached by modern internet-based E-Health technologies. Full article
