Tele-Oncology and Digital Health in Cancer Care

Tele-oncology and digital health solutions are rapidly transforming cancer care by providing remote access to consultations, follow-ups, treatment monitoring, and patient support, thereby overcoming geographical and logistical barriers. The integration of telemedicine platforms enables oncologists to conduct virtual visits, review imaging and lab results, and guide therapy adjustments, improving patient adherence and continuity of care. Wearable devices, mobile apps, and remote monitoring tools track vital signs, symptoms, and medication compliance, generating real-time data that informs clinical decision-making and early intervention. Artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms are being incorporated to predict disease progression, optimize treatment schedules, and personalize patient management plans. Digital health also facilitates multidisciplinary collaboration among oncology teams, pathologists, radiologists, and primary care providers, enhancing coordinated care for complex cases. In addition, virtual clinical trials are emerging, allowing broader patient participation and accelerating data collection while reducing costs and logistical challenges. Despite these advancements, challenges such as data privacy, cybersecurity, regulatory compliance, and digital literacy must be addressed to maximize the effectiveness of tele-oncology. This session will explore the latest trends, technological innovations, implementation strategies, and real-world case studies demonstrating how telemedicine and digital health are reshaping cancer care delivery and improving patient outcomes globally.
