symposium: Patient empowerment with digital technology
Working together on patient empowerment in oncology
On Tuesday, October 22, 2024, the University of Twente (UT) and Ziekenhuisgroep Twente (ZGT) organized an interactive afternoon full of inspiration and knowledge sharing. When someone is diagnosed with cancer, a challenging and emotional period begins. Being well informed is essential to get through this well. To empower people both during and after treatment, digital technology can help.
The programme
On this afternoon, Dr. Siemerink gave an insight into the need and possibilities within oncology for personalising and increasing self-direction in practice through technology. Lianne Tolboom, MSc, presented the results of the PERSONA project on tailoring online information. During an interactive network market, various initiatives and parties participated in the field of digital technology from Twente and beyond. A broad panel session reflected on what direction we need to take for good collaboration on patient empowerment in oncology with digital technology.
