UCD can significantly enhance various aspects of cancer treatment and care:
Patient Portals: Designing user-friendly patient portals can help patients easily access their medical records, treatment plans, and appointment schedules. This empowers them to take an active role in their care. Telehealth Services: With the increasing use of telehealth, UCD can ensure that virtual consultations are as effective and comforting as in-person visits. This includes clear communication channels and easy-to-use platforms. Medication Management: Apps designed with UCD principles can help patients manage their medications, set reminders, and track side effects, ensuring better adherence to treatment plans. Support Systems: Creating online support communities and resources can provide emotional and informational support, helping patients connect with others who share similar experiences.
