Side effects of chemotherapy, immunotherapy and other cancer treatments that go unreported or are not promptly acted upon can delay treatment adjustment, impact the patient’s quality of life and cause patients to stop taking their medications.
Proactively reaching out to patients between visits is ineffective and creates a significant workload for already overworked healthcare staff. Treatable symptoms, side effects, and other concerning trends are often missed, resulting in preventable adverse events and suboptimal care. Certain aspects of remote oncology patient care management can be automated. Clinical workflows are recreated in the system to significantly reduce the number of times human intervention is needed, saving care teams time while still providing patients with personalized care plans.

Based on rules defined by the care team, Datos Health’s patient experience app engages patients, prompts them to report possible symptoms and side effects, and the system scores these Patient Reported Outcomes (PROMS)-for example using CTCAE-allowing the app to perform rules-based triage to identify patients who require an intervention. Patients benefit from better managed symptoms and side effects, leading to advanced patient engagement.
Identification of patients who require no immediate intervention, automated recommendations for managing less severe symptoms and side effects and care team alerts when necessary, combine to relieve care teams of a substantial amount of work and allow them to focus on those patients who most urgently need their attention.
Cancer patients on a Datos Health automated care plan are more engaged and activated. They are reminded to take their medications and have better managed medication side effects, all leading to reduced anxiety, better quality of life, increased adherence to treatment protocols and overall improved outcomes.
Datos Health increases the patient capacity of a care team, which can result in operational cost savings and increased revenue. In addition, Datos Health’s built-in reports help maximize billing for CPT codes related to RPM, Chronic Care Management (CCM) and telehealth.
Developed to meet the needs of both patients and providers, Datos Health pairs powerful data analytics and automation with a platform designed for ease of use.
“By enabling mobile self-reporting and automated-triage workflows tailored to patients’ individual cancer treatments, the Datos platform can give patients reassurance and immediate relief for less-severe side effects while freeing up care teams to focus more efforts on patients who need their personal attention. Ultimately this can help increase treatment adherence, improve quality of life, limit avoidable adverse events and afford real-time monitoring of patient progress.”
“The versatility of Datos’ remote care platform and its ability to increase patient engagement and adherence through personalization of the application is integral to making tele-cardiac rehabilitation a viable option for patients unable or unwilling to participate in center-based cardiac rehabilitation programs.”
