The Role of Health Informatics and Medical Technologies in Improving Cancer Care

Dear Colleagues,

Cancer is a complex and global health issue that poses significant challenges not only to patients but also to healthcare providers and society as a whole. The advent of digital health has revolutionized the approach to diseases, particularly cancer, by offering new channels for managing care beyond traditional visits, creating potential opportunities for supportive, patient-centered, collaborative, and participatory care. This Special Issue serves as a testament to the interdisciplinary nature of contemporary healthcare by showcasing the intersection of technology, medicine, and patient care.

The integration of technology with medicine has brought about significant advancements in patient care, leading to a revolution in the healthcare industry. As such, this Special Issue highlights the critical role played by these three domains in the healthcare ecosystem and underscores their symbiotic relationship. Through collaboration and interdisciplinary efforts, we can achieve better outcomes for cancer patients and improve the quality of care provided.

The current Special Issue brings together leading experts and researchers from various fields, including oncologists, computer scientists, healthcare professionals, and policymakers, to share their knowledge, insights, and innovations on the subject. It provides a platform for discussion on the future of cancer care, exploring emerging trends and innovations in the field. Overall, this Special Issue aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse on the subject, ultimately leading to better cancer care and improved patient outcomes.
