Since internet usage as a complementing element in cancer care is becoming more and more important in oncological routine we launched My-eStEPs (eHealth Strategy for Elderly Patients with Multiple Myeloma) to investigate how specifically elderly patients and their Healthcare Professionals (HCPs) adopt electronic Health (eHealth) support during outpatient treatment. The purpose of this project is to explore how eHealth support influences patients' interaction with their HCPs and how both can benefit from this.
