Beyond the Provider: Alternative Paths to Adoption of Oncology Digital Health Solutions

Engaging healthcare providers is crucial to drive patient adoption of digital health solutions. However, as oncologists can have a particularly high workload, they can be particularly challenging to engage with digital health solutions and technologies. So, what other stakeholders can digital health companies look to in order to drive adoption? In this meeting, we'll explore the potential adoption drivers of different stakeholders in the healthcare ecosystem including:

• Patients: How can we ensure adoption across different oncology patient cohorts? What is the role of patient-led groups such as patient associations or communities?
• Family members as an adoption booster: As family members tend to be very involved in oncology patients’ care delivery, is there an opportunity to leverage family members to drive adoption?
• Specialty pharmacies: Can we look to providers within specialty practices to boost engagement of digital oncology solutions (e.g. nurses, specialty pharmacists etc.)?
• Payers: How can digital health companies best approach payers and ensure they are meeting payer requirements?
