Enable care of older cancer survivors with digital health technologies: the LifeChamps project

Cancer prevalence, particularly among older individuals, imposes a significant burden on healthcare systems. However, care for older cancer patients is often insufficient and fails to address their specific needs. The LifeChamps H2020 EU project aims to develop a patient-centered digital platform to improve monitoring, anticipation, and support for complications that can deteriorate the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of older cancer survivors. By facilitating comprehensive clinical assessments and new integrated care models, it addresses the challenges and gaps in clinical practice, promoting patient-centered care through remote digital monitoring tools that collect HRQoL data not typically captured in routine clinical practice.
