ILCN: What is your presentation about?
My presentation is about delivering palliative and supportive care interventions with digital health apps.
ILCN: Why is this topic timely or important in 2024?
This is a timely and important topic as there are insufficient numbers of specialty-trained clinicians to deliver supportive care for patients with cancer, and patients want easily accessible and tailored information and support about their cancer diagnosis.
