Technology and especially digital health may play an important role in health systems as well as in early diagnosis, management of symptoms, patient deterioration and follow-up.

It is estimated that 40% of cancer survivors donot own or use connected digital health devices.

Here are some new ways in which digital health can help improve cancer management:

Wearable health technology. They contain sensors that enable cancer patients to measure their heart rates, blood pressure, body temperature, sleep patterns, etc.

Smart piezoelectric necklades. Monitor patients adherence to treatment through sensor of swallowing.

Home blood test. Check the white blood cell, platelets, hemoglobin.

Implantable sensors. Implanted under the skin, wireless sensors monitoring the vital signs.

Wearable therapeutic devices. Under research for brain tumors.

Pain-relief neuro-technology. A light-weight band that wraps around the upper culf.

Automated home-based monitoring. Telecare management through a web-based application or interactive voice-recorded phone calls.
