Resumo: Breast cancer is the world’s most prevalent cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related death among women. The objective of this work project is to study the viability of building a digital clinic to support breast cancer treatment and define what it should comprise. By means of 21 semi-structured interviews with patients and clinicians, the project explores deficiencies within the current treatment pathways and evaluates the receptivity to a digital solution. Findings showed shortcomings in doctor-patient communication and difficulty navigating hospital systems. Despite some reservations from stakeholders, the project proved to be feasible, therefore, we evaluated the existing market for breast cancer support and explored implementation options for the digital clinic.
