Patient Reported Outcomes for Cancer Care

Noona is a powerful digital tool connecting oncology patients and cancer care teams, impacting the delivery of care and cancer survivorship. Donor support is needed to unlock its full potential for the 45,000 Nova Scotians receiving cancer care.

Empowering patients, fueling discovery.

Transforming cancer care

What if oncology patients could track their symptoms and share health updates directly with their cancer care team, all from their home? What if cancer care teams had access to a digital tool to easily track and monitor patients throughout the province? What if there was a tool to decrease wait times and improve efficiencies, benefitting cancer patients and clinicians?

These aspirations are possible with Noona — an electronic, patient-reported outcome (PRO) tool for cancer patients. Through an app, Noona provides a virtual connection between patients and cancer care teams. Ensuring patients have the support and tools they need during their journey.

With donor support, Noona can be used to its full potential — impacting patients and care teams while advancing research.

As cancer rates in Nova Scotia continue to rise, the time is now to ensure every patient can access this critical tool during their cancer journey.

Donors, like you, will impact the 45,000 Nova Scotians currently living with cancer and the cancer care teams who are providing life-saving treatments.

Nova Scotia is leading the country as one of two provinces using Noona, which actively engages patients and helps cancer care teams provide high-quality, evidence-based care more efficiently — before, during and after a patient’s treatments.

Your support will help transform the delivery of cancer care.

Enhanced Personalized Care

Noona will change the way clinicians deliver cancer care. It’s part of a larger oncology initiative through Nova Scotia Health – the Oncology Transformation Project (OTP) – that will bring oncology information systems together, in real time.

The outcome? Cancer care teams can easily track and monitor patients through the province, identifying the care needs and scheduling follow-up appointments and providing advice where necessary. Noona triages patient needs to ensure they get the right care at the right time. Making the best use of available resources while optimizing patient safety and outcomes.

As cancer rates continue to rise in Nova Scotia, Noona provides an innovative approach meeting patient needs.

A cancer diagnosis is a life-altering experience.

Having a tool that keeps patients connected to cancer care teams 24/7 impacts their physical, mental and emotional well-being. Noona directly effects key factors that contribute to survivorship rates.

Here are some of the benefits when you support Noona:

Provide faster, easier access to care for oncology patients

Formalize a survivorship program in Nova Scotia, which helps improve survival rates in cancer patients

Reduce emergency department visits with patients monitoring and reporting their symptoms from home

Improve cancer care coordination across Nova Scotia

Remove location barriers for people who live in remote or rural communities and have to travel for appointments

Set the standard for patient-recorded outcome assessments in Canada, with Nova Scotia leading the way as one of two provinces to implement this tool
