Patient Decision Aids
A HELPING HAND DURING YOUR CANCER TREATMENT
As part of its national cancer strategy, the Danish Health Authority is encouraging shared decision-making between cancer patients and their healthcare professionals. Daman was selected to transform the idea into a digital solution. Together, we Co-Created Patient Decision Aids (PDAs).
The problem
Patients with cancer often face many obstacles in their treatment journey, including the overwhelming amount of information and the need to make difficult treatment decisions. This can lead to a decreased quality of life and suboptimal treatment outcomes.
The innovation
A Co-Created Patient Decision Aid for breast, lung and colorectal cancer patients, based on internationally validated frameworks and a database of treatment specifications and dilemma scenarios.
The PDAs support patients to reduce the overwhelm of decision-making and encourage collaboration between patients and physicians when evaluating treatment options.
The outcome
The success of the PDAs has led to plans to expand the platform to other types of cancer. Overall, the PDAs have proven to be a valuable resource for cancer patients and their healthcare teams in promoting shared decision-making and better treatment outcomes.
