OncoBroker
We use digital solutions to promote public health and improve cancer aftercare.
Introduction
Even in the digital age, simple and secure data exchange in the medical and healthcare sectors is still not a given and carries risks. This also applies to the exchange of follow-up care information for cancer patients: in some cases, data is transmitted to the relevant doctors and hospitals incorrectly, too late or not at all. The consequences can be serious.
The aim
The OncoBroker project has developed an AI-supported solution that ensures anonymised data reaches the correct recipient at any time via a secure platform, with information updated daily. Information is reliably exchanged between healthcare professionals and clinics, the processes involved in information transfer are simplified, and the time required is minimised.

How does OncoBroker benefit the public?
The rapid and reliable transfer of treatment data is of paramount importance for patient care. If the information is incomplete or unavailable, this could have negative consequences for patients.
How does OncoBroker make everyday life easier?
Until now, data has been exchanged manually, mostly by fax. This involved a great deal of time and administrative effort. Thanks to digitalisation, the processes now run more quickly.
What new opportunities are there?
Oncobroker is initially focusing on uterine, breast and bowel cancer, and patients at St Joseph-Stift Hospital Dresden. Other hospitals and patients with different conditions may benefit from this in the future.
What does this mean for the supply of care?
The transfer of patients’ follow-up data, in compliance with data protection regulations, is now faster and more reliable.

OncoBroker provides significant added value for the public:
In cancer aftercare in particular, it is extremely important for patients that treatment data is transferred quickly. Delayed or incomplete data transfer would severely limit the quality of care.
