Need Creative Solutions
! LMCs represent the majority of the worldwide cancer burden
– 7.6 million deaths from cancer in 2008 – 64% in LMCs
! Must understand cancer burden ! Must augment workforce to address specific needs ! Must create unique ways to engage providers and patients in
and conduct surveillance
! mHealth tools are positioned to address these issues Source:(GLOBOCAN(2008( World(Cancer(Report(2008(
Spectrum of mHealth Tools
Workforce Support & Cancer Registries Limited Patient Engagement Sophisticated PRO Systems
Duke Center for Learning Health Care
! ePRO = prototype system for collection of patient information &
analysis
! On-the-ground, real-time mechanism to gather data on:
Diagnosis & patient history Symptoms Quality of life Medication use and compliance Patient satisfaction “Value” of treatment
Collection Methods
Validated Questionnaires Available
Interface
Research Clinical Operations & Quality Clinician
Evolution
! Improve visualization ! Trigger interventions &
education
! Provide scorecards ! Enable rapid learning clinic ! Embed randomization
Evidence Based Medicine: A Paradigm Shift
African CRs monitor 11% of the population, the Costa
Rican registry covers 90%, U.S. and Madras cancer registries reach 96%. In the “validity” domain the key criterion was pathologic diagnosis confirmation. Most LMC CRs are not pathology-based. CRs in wealthier settings like Hong Kong report histological confirmation in >85% of cases. In the “timeliness” domain standards for timely data reporting are largely undocumented.
Creative solutions for LMCs
No need to wait for greater technology adoption by clinics as mHealth can be used to circumvent the system
! Must understand cancer burden
– EpiSurveyor in Tanzania
! Must augment workforce
– Education for providers and patients in India and China
Registries in LMCs
! 2/3rds of global cancer burden occurs in LMCs ! Registries only monitor 11% of the African population vs 96% of
the U.S. population
! Infrastructure to identify and monitor diagnoses, treatment, and
surveillance is the cornerstone of clinical and research oncology
! WHO, among other organizations, has advocated for the creation

Collection of Primary Data
Malaria surveillance in Malawi* Basic Patient Experience Data
*Applying or Integrating Mobile-based Episurveyor Technology into Malawi Malaria Supervision – episurveyor.com
India & China
! Augmenting workforce
– Implementation of limited PROs, adapted for literacy and technologic capabilities – Basic education
Creative solutions for LMCs
! Many complex and targeted mHealth platforms, but don’t forget
about basic solutions with great flexibility
! Goal is to
– provide patients and populations what they need in their communities – provide open, creative solutions – avoid waiting for traditional infrastructure to be built
