      Cancer - a growing health challenge for the 21st century

      Malignant tumours are one of the leading causes of death worldwide and are the second most common population health threat after cardiovascular disease. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), more than 20 million new cases of cancer are diagnosed each year, and projections indicate a further increase in this number in the coming decades. Increases in incidence are also being seen in younger age groups.

      The development of cancer is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, such as exposure to carcinogens, poor diet, lack of physical activity, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, chronic stress and lack of regular preventive examinations.

      Successful management of the disease requires early detection, individually selected therapy and continuous health monitoring. Patient education and support at every stage of treatment are also crucial

      About one-third of cancer deaths are caused by tobacco use, high body mass index, alcohol consumption, low intake of fruits and vegetables, and lack of physical activity. Additionally, air pollution is a major risk factor for lung cancer.

      Telemonitoring with Comarch HomeHealth 2.0

      • Ordering a telemonitoring service

        The doctor orders remote monitoring of the patient outside the medical facility and adjusts its course. Sets a schedule of tasks, drug doses, personalizes the ranges of measurement standards, orders medical surveys and selects appropriate educational materials.

      • Patient at home

        The patient performs tasks ordered by the doctor, which the application reminds him of every day. The results from the measuring devices are automatically sent to the application. All data collected from the patient are sent in real time to the Comarch e-Care 2.0 telemedicine platform, where they are automatically analyzed and monitored by the medical care team.

      • Report with recommendations

        After the monitoring period, the doctor can generate a report from the service along with recommendations and make it available to the patient. The patient also has access to all of his historical results in the Comarch HomeHealth 2.0 application.
