1. Multilingual health mobile applications can help make the technology more accessible to a low-income and diverse population where they can access the application in their native languages, while the risk of adverse outcomes such as data breaches can be controlled through encryption and two-way authentication protocols for data security and safety.
  2. Providing access to telemedicine and other online platforms that can provide information regarding medication and their accurate use can help the patient accurately adhere to medication, while the risk can be mitigated through better health literacy initiatives such as teaching patients informed consent and the rights of patients that allow the individual to tap accurate and authentic information.
  3. Having Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems for analyzing the patient’s data and their preferences and making personalized care plans for the patients will allow every patient to have a care plan that is according to their needs; however, data security and privacy are important aspects here as well.

Conclusion 

In conclusion, engaging cancer patients in their care provides an additive to the care provision and treatment adherence, while the ICT tools can help in providing easy-to-access care that is personalized, effective, and compliant with the patient’s needs and preferences. Similarly, having access to evidence-based practices helps in managing the health, financial, and cultural aspects of the care as well as tailoring the plans as per the patient’s values and preferences. Mobile applications and utilizing AI in tailoring plans are highly favored strategies that can help in making these plans more accurate as per the need; however, data security concerns should be mitigated for seamless usage.
