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.
