Cancer Connection features symptom and drainage trackers, a curated learning library with educational articles, a to-do list and a notepad to prepare for appointments, according to a May 16 system news release.
“We understand how daunting a diagnosis can be, and we want our patients to be partners in their own care,” Badrinath Konety, MD, Allina Health’s chief academic officer and president of Allina Health Cancer Institute, said in the news release. “Not only can the app help them better understand their journey, but it can lead to improved treatment adherence, which may contribute to better outcomes.”
It is the fourth app the system has launched for patients. The system also has apps for heart care, pregnant patients and those with young children and a general app for all patients.
