Adoption Beyond Reimbursement for Digital Health in Oncology

About this Meeting

Are you struggling to get patients and healthcare professionals (HCPs) to adopt your digital health product? Keep reading, this meeting is for you!    

Digital health in oncology can mean many things, improved access to care, better tracking and management of symptoms, and improved treatment of comorbidities. However, this becomes worthless without the proper adoption rates. Reimbursement was usually pointed out as the biggest barrier to digital health adoption, but even when there are reimbursement schemes available, like the DiGA framework in Germany, adoption remains low. So, what else is needed? Join this session to discuss the following:      

  • How can digital health companies in oncology improve patient activation? What is the role of HCPs recommendation, family/caregivers, patient associations, D2C marketing, etc?  
  • Striving in patient experience and long-term engagement: activating patients is one piece of the puzzle, as well as product reimbursement. Once patients are onboarded and reimbursement is secured, how can we ensure long-term adoption? How important are usability and personalization?  
  • Best practices to drive HCP awareness and education: this becomes more challenging in oncology, where there is a wide range of professionals involved. How can we do this efficiently? 
  • It is not all about money; what are the non-financial incentives for  HCPs:   having reimbursement schemes is not enough to engage physicians. What other incentives are needed to make a physician prescribe?
