Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technology has had a significant impact on healthcare services, particularly in cancer care, which is one of the leading causes of death globally. Despite ongoing innovations, access to quality cancer care in remote areas remains limited, with major challenges in diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring. This study aims to explore the role of digital transformation in enhancing the accessibility and efficiency of cancer care in remote areas, focusing on telemedicine, mobile health applications, and digital health monitoring tools. This research uses a quantitative approach through a literature review by analyzing various relevant sources such as scientific journals, research reports, and health policies related to the implementation of digital technology in cancer care. The quantitative data obtained from the relevant literature shows that the application of digital health technology has improved access to timely cancer diagnosis and treatment, reduced travel time, and minimized treatment delays. Additionally, the use of telemedicine platforms has been reported to improve communication between patients and healthcare providers, while mobile applications enable patients to actively monitor their health conditions, thus increasing adherence to treatment protocols. In conclusion, digital transformation in cancer care offers an effective solution to address healthcare service gaps in remote areas, although better digital infrastructure and increased technological literacy are needed to maximize its benefits. This study provides valuable insights for policymakers and healthcare providers in integrating digital solutions to enhance the resilience of the healthcare system, especially in underserved regions.
