The functions

With three central functions, the Onkobutler lays the groundwork for greater individualisation in treatment planning:

1. Record your course of treatment effortlessly


The cancer app quickly and conveniently queries all relevant parameters regarding the course of treatment and securely stores the information.

2. Share data with the treatment team with just a tap.


By simply pressing a button, the information is converted into a useful report to be sent to the treatment team.

3. Receive reminders to take your tablets.


The app reliability reminds you to take the correct dosage. This ensures that medication is taken without errors.

Please note the following: The Onkobutler supports the treatment team with important additional information to tailor the therapy to each individual. The cancer app cannot replace an individual medical assessment. If in doubt, always seek the assessment of the treatment team.

Supporting the treatment team

Throughout their treatment, patients collect important progress information, which can be shared with their treatment teams through a concise report generated from this data. The report provides a quick overview of the treatment progress, allowing for personalised therapy planning.

The reports are typically emailed to the treatment team ahead of the consultation. The timing of data transmission can be coordinated between the treatment team and the patient.
