Abstract
Introduction
Cancer is a primary public concern in the European continent. Due to the large case numbers and survival rates, a significant population is living with cancer needs. Consequently, health professionals must deal with complex treatment decision-making processes. In this context, a large quantity of data is collected during cancer care delivery. Once collected, these data are complex for health professionals to access to support clinical decision-making and performance review. There is a need for innovative tools that make clinical data more accessible to support cancer health professionals in these activities.
Methods
Following a co-creation, an interactive approach thanks to the Interactive Process Mining paradigm, and data from a tertiary hospital, we developed an exploratory tool to present cancer patients' progress over time.
Results
This work aims to collect and report the process of developing an exploratory analytical Interactive Process Mining tool with clinical relevance for healthcare professionals for monitoring cancer patients' care processes in the context of the LifeChamps project together with a graphical and navigable Process Indicator in the context of prostate cancer patients.
Discussion
The tool presented includes Process Mining techniques to infer actual processes and present understandable results visually and navigable, looking for different types of patients, trajectories, and behaviors.
