Role of Digital Health Platforms in Cancer Survivorship and Long-Term Care

Abstract

Digital health platforms are increasingly playing a pivotal role in enhancing cancer survivorship and long-term care. This paper explores the multifaceted contributions of digital health technologies in supporting individuals post-cancer treatment. Key aspects include remote monitoring of health parameters, personalized care through AI-driven analytics, and access to supportive resources such as virtual support groups and educational materials. These platforms empower survivors by promoting proactive health management and early detection of potential complications, thereby improving quality of life and reducing healthcare costs. Moreover, they facilitate seamless communication between patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers, fostering a collaborative approach to long-term care planning. Despite their promising benefits, challenges such as data privacy concerns and accessibility issues remain pertinent. Future advancements should focus on integrating advanced technologies like machine learning and blockchain to enhance security and interoperability across platforms. By harnessing the potential of digital health platforms, stakeholders can effectively address the evolving needs of cancer survivors, ensuring holistic care and support throughout their journey.
