Big initiative in digital health
This project will evaluate the effects of physical and mental health, social engagement and treatment of cancer patients. There was no digital tool in India so far that can measure the life quality of cancer patients. This research will meet this deficiency and give cancer patients better care and individual treatment solutions.
The mortality rate of cancer patients in India is higher than in Western countries. With this research, we will develop a digital equipment that can measure their life quality according to the needs of Indian patients. This will provide better treatment to cancer patients and make their lives easier.
