Short Project Description:

Across Europe, receiving a timely cancer diagnosis and of surviving the disease differs considerably because of inequalities in preventive

policies, access to state-of-the art diagnostics, treatments and care. The projection is that the number of diagnosed cancer cases may

increase by a fourth by 2035. Therefore, the usage of telemedicine in healthcare has now even more been acknowledged as important

in responding to epidemic situations, including the COVID-19 one. The exchange of best practices on the use of digital tools (such as

online consultations and real-time clinical data exchange) could during cross-border emergencies and health crises provide assistance to

individuals and patients living in remote and rural areas.

This Joint Action (JA) aims to bring the benefits of eHealth to all citizens and patients across EU-Member States (MS) focusing on

cancer prevention and care. There is a need to harmonize telemedicine regulations and to explore the efficacy of teleconsultation programs

and telemonitoring in the cancer field.

The Jas outputs will: i) facilitate the development of modular/interoperable solutions that build on regional/national infrastructures, ii) inform

telemedicine services with a strong focus on users (patient and health care providers). Lessons learned from the deployment of the

intervention will inform mutual learning and knowledge exchange for better health system resilience and preparedness.
