How can technology improve access to cancer testing?
Advancements in technology have the potential to significantly improve access to cancer testing. For example:
- Telemedicine: Telemedicine platforms can connect patients with healthcare providers from the comfort of their homes, making it easier to receive referrals and consultations. - Mobile Clinics: Mobile health units can travel to underserved areas, providing on-the-spot testing and education. - Home Testing Kits: Developments in home testing kits for cancers such as colorectal or HPV can enable individuals to perform initial screenings at home and then seek professional care if needed.
