How Can Patients Benefit from Digital Health Technologies: Brande’s Experience

A cancer diagnosis can be an incredibly distressing experience, marked by a multitude of medical procedures, an ever-changing treatment plan, and unexpected side effects. Patients often grapple with questions regarding the location and timing of their care, as well as the associated costs. Brande Pearson found herself facing all of these challenges simultaneously. What initially began as a routine doctor’s appointment for persistent shoulder pain led to a scan that unveiled basal cell cancer, followed by an immediate biopsy appointment. Through a series of 15 procedures to combat the cancer, Brande is now in the process of recovery – and she attributes her ability to navigate the intricacies and uncertainties of her treatment to a digital health app with personalized cancer care provided by her healthcare provider.
