Symptom management, a key opportunity for better care<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At Voluntis, we truly believe that giving the right support to patients can make a difference in their treatment journey.<\/strong> Experiencing side effects is very common when undergoing anti-cancer treatment, so our approach in oncology is based on self-management of symptoms to make patients more autonomous and active in their disease.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our digital therapeutics in oncology embed scientifically-validated algorithms, built under our versatile and modular Theraxium<\/a> platform, providing real-time, personalized recommendations to patients, so they know what to do and how to manage their symptoms, anytime and anywhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Treatment-related symptom management is a challenge faced by all stakeholders within healthcare systems<\/strong> that must respond to an ever-increasing demand. Promoting self-management helps address this challenge by facilitating communication between care teams and patients, encouraging shared decision-making and optimizing resource utilization by focusing on most critical cases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    An active approach to empower patients<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Our active approach in oncology aims to enable patients to take actions in their disease and to better manage their side effects<\/strong>, thus improving treatment experience.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Our digital therapeutics are based on a mobile app for patients and a web portal for care team. Whether they are starting a new treatment or already under therapy, patients receive personalized and real-time recommendations to manage their issues and support remote monitoring by the care team. Leveraging embedded evidence-based clinical algorithms, the solution can help patients: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
