This study developed a web-based communication system to improve information sharing for cancer patients and their caregivers. The system supports vital connections between patients, families, and healthcare providers during cancer treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Health Informatics
  • Communication Studies

Background:

  • Effective communication is crucial for cancer treatment involving patients, clinicians, and support networks.
  • Existing communication channels often fall short in meeting the complex needs of individuals undergoing cancer care.
  • Supporting interpersonal relationships is key to managing the psychosocial aspects of cancer.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and develop an informatics system tailored to the communication requirements of cancer patients.
  • To enhance the interaction and information exchange between patients, their formal and informal caregivers, and clinicians.
  • To create a user-centered prototype addressing identified communication gaps.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative interviews were conducted with cancer patients and their family/friend caregivers to understand communication challenges.

  • A prototype web-based communication system was designed based on insights from patient and caregiver feedback.
  • The system development prioritized features supporting interpersonal relationships and information flow.

    • Main Results:

    • A functional prototype of a web-based communication system was successfully created.
    • The system design emphasizes the integration of patients, families, and clinical teams.
    • User feedback guided the development, focusing on practical communication support.

    Conclusions:

    • Informatics systems can significantly aid cancer patient communication and caregiver support.
    • A web-based platform can bridge communication gaps in the cancer care continuum.
    • Future iterations should further refine features based on ongoing user engagement and technological advancements.
