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 order identify and monitor cancer diagnoses, pursue treatment, and conduct surveillance ! mHealth tools are positioned to address these issues Source:(GLOBOCAN(2008( World(Cancer(Report(2008(

Spectrum of mHealth Tools Workforce Limited Sophisticated Support Patient PRO & Engagement Systems Cancer Registries

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

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. First'steps'

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 ! 2/3 rds 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 of standardized cancer registries in LMCs Source:(GLOBOCAN(2008( World(Cancer(Report(2008(


 Episurveyor - What does it do? Adapted from slides by Joel Selanikio


 How does it work? Create forms online and push to common mobile phones � Works with Android, Not just smartphones � Symbian, Blackberry, SMS, and iPhone � Adapted from slides by Joel Selanikio


 How does it work? Data � Visualization � Data is secure, encrypted, Data can be collected password protected � offline � Adapted from slides by Joel Selanikio


 More than 9000 users in more than 170 countries Adapted from slides by Joel Selanikio

Collection of Primary Data Malaria surveillance Basic Patient Experience Data in Malawi* *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
