Za bolnike in bolnice z rakom je spremljanje stranskih učinkov zdravljenja zelo pomembno, saj ima to lahko velik vpliv na uspeh zdravljenja in kakovost življenja. V praksi se takšni podatki zbirajo na pregledih. Težava je v tem, da lahko omenjeni podatki do onkologa prispejo prepozno, bolniki oziroma bolnice pa jih težko pravilno ocenijo (kdaj, kateri, s kakšno jakostjo so se pojavili). Možna rešitev je spremljanje stranskih učinkov z uporabo aplikacije. Ker na trgu ni primernih mobilnih rešitev, smo izdelali mobilno aplikacijo za platformo Android. Aplikacija omogoča spremljanje stranskih učinkov kemoterapij, zdravniških pregledov, terapij in ciklov ter dodatnih zdravil, prikaz podatkov v obliki grafov, prikaz koristnih povezav, možnost opomnikov in deljenja podatkov z izbranim onkologom oziroma onkologinjo. Trenutno aplikacija navedene funkcije omogoča pri zdravljenju raka dojke, vendar jo je z zamenjavo baze znanja mogoče enostavno prilagoditi tudi drugim vrstam raka in terapij.

• Title: Mobile application for monitoring side effects of chemotherapy

Abstract

It is important for patients with breast cancer that they keep track of their side effects during chemotherapy treatment as it can have a large impact on the success of the treatment and the quality of life. In general, this information is gathered at doctor appointments. Problem is that the doctor may receive this information too late or the patient might have a problem evaluating it correctly (when, which and with what intensity they have appeared). Possible solution for this is gathering side effects information via mobile application. Because there are no viable solutions available, we developed a mobile application for the Android platform. This allows users to keep track of their side effects during chemotherapy; manage doctor appointments; keep track of therapies, cycles and additional drugs; have the ability to show various graphs; provides them with helpful links and publications on the topic; have the ability to set reminders and share all of the information with their doctor. Currently the application offers all of the above to the patients with breast cancer, but it can be simply modified for other types of cancer with replacing the database.
