On May 21st, the Innovation and Research Department at Telemark Hospital hosted an open research evening for the public on the occasion of International Clinical Trials Day. The EU-funded MyPath project and the national initiative MyPath-MATRIX were presented through lectures and stands.

MyPath is a five-year research and implementation project (2022-2027) aimed at improving cancer treatment by offering a solution for digital patient reporting and individualized follow-up plans based on existing guidelines for symptom relief. The goal is to systematically map patients' symptoms and functions digitally, allowing patients to report their condition from home before coming to the hospital for treatment. Telemark Hospital is one of three MATRIX-affiliated hospitals participating in the development and implementation of the digital MyPath tool, which focuses on patient needs. The tool is expected to be used at Telemark Hospital soon.  Oslo University Hospital and Ålesund Hospital are also involved from Norway, along with nine European hospitals. The technological development is led by the Norwegian tech company DNV Imatis, in close collaboration with industry partners and patient organizations

The MyPath paper “Practical cancer nutrition, from guidelines to clinical practice: a digital solution to patient-centred care” has been published to ESMO Open.The Nutritional Care Pathway is one element of the MyPath initiative, an EU-funded project focused on developing digital tools to support patient-centred cancer care. Read the full paper in ESMO Open here or at the MyPath website.

We are proud to present the brand new MyPath explainer video! This brief video outlines the vision of the MyPath project and demonstrates our joint efforts to innovate cancer care through personalised, patient-centred digital pathways.
