Deploying Telemonitoring Ecosystems for Cancer Care Across Europe: The eCAN and eCAN Plus Joint Action Project Experience

Year: 2026

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Cancer care increasingly requires digital solutions that maintain follow-up beyond the hospital. The Joint Actionc (JA) eCAN implemented a European telemonitoring ecosystem for oncology, combining a patient mobile application, clinician dashboard, wearable-data exchange, and structured remote monitoring workflows. Building on this completed foundation, eCAN Plus is now extending the model toward a broader service-oriented ecosystem for cancer centres. Because eCAN Plus is still in its early implementation phase, it is presented as an ongoing architectural and functional evolution rather than a completed successor. This paper summarizes the eCAN workflow and tools, extracts key deployment lessons, and discusses how these lessons inform the progression toward eCAN Plus, with emphasis on governance, interoperability, richer patient interaction, and clinician support.
