In partnership with BC Cancer Kelowna team and the Office of Virtual Health, the Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) project involved the implementation and evaluation of a digital model of care in order to monitor, educate, and best support people receiving immunotherapy. Telus Home Health Monitoring (HHM) tablets equipped with surveys and biometric reading devices were used to help inform timely and appropriate follow-up support from the clinical care team including nurses, pharmacists and providers. Patients reported that the digital strategy helped with their physical and emotional care needs, feel empowered in their self-care and helped improve access to their care. Clinician feedback indicated that the project positively impacted their ability to provide early intervention of symptom support, and could be considered for other systemic therapy patients.
