Digital Platform for Connected Cancer Therapy
A cancer diagnosis usually hits those affected suddenly and turns their lives completely upside down. This makes it even more important that they receive good care and support right from the start. Efficiency, accuracy and reliable processes are particularly important in oncology.
Doctors prescribe individual therapies that are produced by specialised pharmacies. However, many processes are still analogue, involving handwritten notes, Word documents or faxes. This costs time and nerves and can be critical in an emergency.
This is exactly where cooperation with a partner pharmacy comes in. The goal is a digital solution that seamlessly connects doctors and pharmacies. The focus is on structured therapy data, intelligent data exchange and secure, direct communication.
The platform digitally maps the entire course of therapy, from planning to production. The partner pharmacy specialises in caring for seriously ill patients, particularly those with cancer, and produces individualised chemotherapy treatments to supply doctors' surgeries and clinics.
Our Approach
First, all relevant data was collected, structured and analysed. The result is an application with two clearly structured dashboards.
- For doctors: patient management, creation of therapy plans, definition of applications and direct enquiries to partner pharmacies.
- For pharmacies: overview of all connected practices, central access to therapy data and targeted control of internal processes.
All communication runs securely and in compliance with data protection regulations directly via the platform.
The Blue Book with therapy specifications, which was previously maintained manually, is now read automatically with the help of AI. This creates a structured, verified database. This is supplemented by an AI-supported plausibility check that efficiently validates and optimises therapies.
Our Services
- Strategy: Requirements analysis, design of the digital platform
- Develop: Development of a role-based web application with AI-supported data processing
- Services: Hosting and support, ongoing expansion of the platform, data management
Customer Benefits
A powerful solution was developed from a partner's original prototype, which grows with the business and can be expanded flexibly. With this application, partner pharmacies are creating a new level of cooperation in the sensitive area of cancer therapy.
- Pharmacies can plan, document and control care steps more precisely.
- Doctors gain valuable time through structured patient management and clear communication.
- Pharmaceutical companies can better plan demand using anonymised data.
The central dashboard gives everyone involved a clear overview – from prescription to production of the therapy. The application can be seamlessly integrated into existing systems and makes processes more efficient, transparent and secure.
At the same time, the platform forms the basis for further digital services, such as a mobile app, a patient-centred dashboard or AI-supported analyses. In future, it can be offered to other pharmacies as a scalable product with real added value. A further step is planned: the expansion to include logistics and control with QR codes, automated checking and optimised processes.
