The ovar­i­an can­cer app

The Euro­pean Cen­ter for Ovar­i­an Can­cer (EKZE) of the Women’s Clin­ic of the Char­ité Berlin — under the direc­tion of Prof. Dr. Jalid Sehouli — has devel­oped an app for patients and doc­tors to keep you up to date. True to the mot­to: “Knowl­edge is oppor­tu­ni­ty”, we want to increase your health literacy.

Mobile phones and their soft­ware appli­ca­tions have become an inte­gral part of our every­day lives, because they offer many prac­ti­cal aids. This is also the case with the new EGG CANCER APP from the Char­ité Women’s Clin­ic. The first mobile com­mu­ni­ty for affect­ed women and doc­tors to make it eas­i­er to net­work in every­day life.

Espe­cial­ly after the diag­no­sis, sick peo­ple often feel lone­ly, aban­doned and inse­cure. In this sit­u­a­tion, it helps them to find out about the lat­est med­ical devel­op­ments and to exchange ideas with oth­er suf­fer­ers in order to bet­ter under­stand and process their own ill­ness. How­ev­er, the changes in every­day life due to ill­ness, with count­less doctor’s appoint­ments and a pan­dem­ic, often leave lit­tle room for per­son­al meet­ings. Above all, patients who can­not par­tic­i­pate in nor­mal life out­side ben­e­fit from mobile offers — regard­less of where they are.

The APP was devel­oped by the Char­ité Women’s Clin­ic — under the direc­tion of Prof. Dr. med. Dr. h.c. Jalid Sehouli — devel­oped in coop­er­a­tion with 8Health to enable women and rel­a­tives with can­cer to have a con­tem­po­rary offer. It is about the high­est qual­i­ty and cut­ting edge med­ical infor­ma­tion, direct­ly from the com­pe­tence cen­ter, processed sep­a­rate­ly for those affect­ed and for med­ical staff.

With the launch of the app, the first mile­stone has been set: “We are very pleased that we are able to offer our patients a con­tem­po­rary range of ser­vices and that we can use new tech­nolo­gies to keep the dia­logue going despite the pan­dem­ic,” empha­sizes Prof. Jalid Sehouli.

Eas­i­ly down­load the Ovar­i­an Can­cer App from the App Store or Play Store. No reg­is­tra­tion of per­son­al data is required.
