Improving Care Pathway Using Simplified Digital Tools for Oncology Patients: a Multicenter "Before-and-after" Study

Developments in the healthcare sector in general, and in oncology in particular, mean that patients are increasingly autonomous. Outpatient treatment raises the issue of home monitoring. One of the solutions proposed by the 2014-2019 Cancer Plan is the development of telemedicine. Several programmes have been set up in the medical oncology department at Hôpital Mondor, to make patient care more secure and improve the management of undesirable effects of treatment for patients undergoing intravenous (I.V.) chemotherapy or oral anti-cancer treatments. The preliminary study on the use of the digital solution Onco'nect demonstrated the feasibility of using a dematerialised tool for real-time monitoring and management of chemotherapy-induced adverse events in cancer patients undergoing outpatient treatment. The tool was used to help AP-HP institution deal with the crisis linked to the COVID epidemic. Once it had been configured, Onco'nect was deployed to all institution's hospital groups to ensure that infected patients could remain at home, and that patients hospitalised with symptomatic COVID infection could return home. Hypothesis: The digital solution Onco'nect would improve patient compliance and could reduce the occurrence and improve the management of unexpected adverse events. Primary objective: In terms of clinical evaluation, the primary objective is to assess the effect of using the Onco'nect solution for ambulatory oncology follow-up on reducing the rate of occurrence at 6 months follow-up of unexpected and unwanted chemo-induced adverse events. The solution is already on the market and has been integrated (or is in the process of being integrated) into the care systems of the participating AP-HP establishments. The aim of the project is to evaluate its use in routine care and measure the occurrence and management of unexpected and unwanted chemo-induced adverse events in outpatients treated for cancer. This observational study of care pathway, using re
