ABSTRACT

Background:

Digitization offers enormous potential in medicine. The development of digitalization of breast cancer patients and factors influencing the degree of digitization of patients have been insufficiently researched.

Objective:

To assess the development of digitalization in a well-defined patient cohort.

Methods:

Longitudinal study from 2012-2020.

Results:

The majority of patients own the technical possibilities to use eHealth offers in 2020, use the Internet to obtain information and are ready to use new eHealth solutions. The degree of digitization is increasing, but still depends on age, education and household size.

Conclusions:

To implement digital solutions in healthcare, knowledge of the composition and degree of digitalization of the patient group for which the respective solution is developed for is crucial for its success. Clinical Trial: German Register of Clinical Studies (DRKS00012364).
