Summary
This study examines the feasibility, user-friendliness, and impact of digital support in outpatient palliative care. Patients, relatives, and professional caregivers use the web-based ISPC platform (information system for Palliative Care) and an accompanying app to record symptom progression, vital signs, and care experiences. In addition, qualitative interviews, focus groups, and usability tests are conducted to analyze experiences, needs, and effects of digital innovations. The goal is to improve digital support in palliative care in a practical way, optimize patient care, and lay the foundation for sustainable integration into standard care.
