Patient*innenperspektiven zur Akzeptanz und Nutzbarkeit digitaler Gesundheitstechnologien in der Onkologie - eine qualitative Studie

Digitale Werkzeuge wie Conversational Agents und Wearables bieten vielversprechende Möglichkeiten zur Erfassung von Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) und objektiven Krankheitsverläufen, wodurch das Wohlbefinden der Patientinnen verbessert werden kann und eine personalisierte Behandlung in der Onkologie ermöglicht wird. Die erfolgreiche Einführung und Umsetzung dieser Werkzeuge in herkömmlichen Gesundheitssystemen kann jedoch Herausforderungen mit sich bringen. Schlüsselfaktoren sind die Einbindung der Patientinnen, die Akzeptanz und die Anwendungsfreundlichkeit des Systems. Um diese entscheidenden Aspekte anzugehen, ist ein nutzungsorientrierter Ansatz unerlässlich, der sich darauf konzentriert, die Bedürfnisse der Patient*innen zu verstehen und technologiebedingte Barrieren zu überwinden.

We are looking for Masters Students!

We are currently looking for Master’s students in the field of Bioinformatics for the topic of Nucleosome footprints in cell-free DNA sequencing data Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is released by dying cells into the surrounding tissues and also to the bloodstream. As nucleosomes protect DNA from degradation, plasma cfDNA carries information about the nucleosome organization in the cells of origin. Different characteristics of cfDNA are increasingly being used in the diagnostics of genetic diseases and the monitoring of cancer.
