Gynecologic Cancers


Each gynecologic cancer is unique, with different signs, symptoms, risk factors (things that may increase your chance of geFng a disease), and prevenHon strategies. Every year, more than 80,000 women in the U.S. are told they have a gynecologic cancer, and more than 25,000 women die from a gynecologic cancer.*

While the incidence and prevalence of these cancers are widespread as depicted by this data, dispari/es in preven/on, early treatment, quality of care, and outcomes result in higher morbidity and mortality rates among minority and underserved women.

The Challenge

•  The Challenge calls on sohware developers to create an applica/on for mobile devices, in mul/ple languages, that can help underserved and minority women fight and prevent cancer.

•  Providing general informa/on regarding preven/ve and screening services for breast and gynecologic cancers—including, but not limited to, benefits, /ming, scheduling, and loca/on.

•  Allowing for the interface with pa/ent health records or provider-‐sponsored pa/ent portals to provide specific reminders and trigger electronic health record-‐based clinical decision support regarding the /ming of preven/ve services.


•  Suppor/ng the storage, viewing, and even the exchange of complex pa/ent care plans. In par/cular, the applica/on will help strengthen communica/on among provider care teams, possibly spread out across large geographic loca/ons, to afford op/mal remote follow-‐up (e.g. be able to send pa/ent informa/on to electronic health records via Direct, hZp://directproject.org/).

•  Suppor/ng pa/ent engagement and care giver support with applica/ons that help pa/ents and/or their caregivers keep track of complex care plans, such as connec/ons to community health workers, promotores de salud, or pa/ent navigators.
