Topic 385: Care4Ahead: Creating a Scalable Technology Solution to Improve Long-Term Care for Cancer Survivors- Moonshot

这个SBIR项目的目标是创建一个创新软件系统的原型，以帮助癌症幸存者更好地管理他们的症状，并在他们的生命过程中与他们的临床医生保持联系。这将包括使幸存者能够报告他们可能遇到的症状，从可穿戴传感器收集和传输实时测量数据，并接收通知和提醒，以便进行后续护理。承包商将开发一个名为Care4Ahead的卫生信息技术（HIT）平台。科学的前提是，采用HIT将帮助提供者和癌症幸存者改善他们的长期临床结果。Care4Ahead不仅寻求帮助幸存者改善自我护理，而且在他们自己和提供者之间建立一个反馈循环。据认为，这种反馈循环将大大增加幸存者在长期内获得最佳护理的可能性。

The goal of this SBIR project is to create a prototype of an innovative software system to help cancer survivors better manage their symptoms and stay connected with their clinicians over the course of their lives. This will include enabling survivors to report symptoms they may be experiencing, collect and transmit real-time measurements from wearable sensors and receive notifications and reminders to engage in follow up care. The contractor will develop a health information technology (HIT) platform called Care4Ahead. The scientific premise is that employing HIT will help providers and cancer survivors improve their long-term clinical outcomes. Care4Ahead seeks to not only enable survivors to improve self-care but also to create a feedback loop between themselves and providers. It is thought that this feedback loop will sharply increase the likelihood that survivors will receive optimal care over the long term.
