Research Seminar: The electronic & digital monitoring of people with cancer in research and practice
The subject of this seminar will be “The electronic & digital monitoring of people with cancer in research and practice”.
Dr. Annemarie Coolbrandt, oncology nurse specialist at the University Hospital of Leuven, will open the seminar with a presentation on the development of her symptom diary for oncological patients. It will discuss the path taken to develop this tool, the barriers that were encountered and how this diary can be an improvement for the current patient care. Her presentation will be given in English.
Subsequently, Joran Geeraerts, PhD researcher at the End-of-Life Care Research Group, will discuss the results of his scoping review on the use of intensive electronic data collection and monitoring of patients with lung and breast cancer. This takes part in the future development of a tool that can offer a more intensive form of support for cancer patients when needed. This presentation will also be given in English.
