【 摘 要 】

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 toprolong 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 andOslo have developed PATC, a computerized tool for assessment of patientssubjective symptoms. This tool has earlier been implemented on a PDAplatform and recently as a standalone application for PC’s. We now aim tofurther develop the PATC application to become an application that adapts thequestions to the capabilities of the individual cancer patient and to integratePATC as a component for self assessment and reporting in the patient’spersonal health record. We here present the outline of this project.
