Resumo(s)
Breast cancer is the world’s most prevalent cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related
death among women. The objective of this work project is to study the viability of
building a digital clinic to support breast cancer treatment and define what it should
comprise. By means of 21 semi-structured interviews with patients and clinicians, the
project explores deficiencies within the current treatment pathways and evaluates the
receptivity to a digital solution. Findings showed shortcomings in doctor-patient
communication and difficulty navigating hospital systems. Despite some reservations
from stakeholders, the project proved to be feasible, therefore, we evaluated the existing
market for breast cancer support and explored implementation options for the digital
clinic.
