Development of a computerized tool for self-assessment of subjective symptoms that can be integrated in a Personal health record

More than 10.000 people die from cancer every year in Norway. During the last stages of the disease, the aim of the therapy is no longer to prolong the life of the patient but rather to focus on the patient’s quality of life. For the last 5 years the palliative care research community in Trondheim and Oslo have developed PAT-C, a computerized tool for assessment of patients subjective symptoms. This tool has earlier been implemented on a PDA platform and recently as a standalone application for PC’s. We now aim to further develop the PAT-C application to become an application that adapts the questions to the capabilities of the individual cancer patient and to integrate PAT-C as a component for self assessment and reporting in the patient’s personal health record. We here present the outline of this project.
