Background: Breast cancer affects 2.3 million women and kills 685,000 globally, making it the most prevalent cancer. The telemedicine modality has been used to treat the symptoms associated with breast cancer recovery. Objectives: To analyze the effectiveness of telemedicine to help women recover from the treatment-associated effects and promote overall recovery from breast cancer. Methods: Four databases were queried for published literature from the last 10 years. The systematic literature review was conducted in accordance with the Kruse Protocol and reported in accordance with PRISMA 2020. Results: Five interventions were identified in the literature, with the most dominant being eHealth and mHealth. The other interventions were telephone, video teleconference, and a combination of eHealth and mHealth. There were positive effects of these telemedicine interventions in 88% of the studies analyzed. Telemedicine is shown to positively affect physical and mental health, sleep outcomes, quality of life, and body image. The largest barriers to the adoption of telemedicine interventions are training, cost, workflow, time of providers, and low reimbursement. Conclusion: Telemedicine offers promise to both providers and breast cancer survivors to improve the physical and mental health detriments of both cancer and its associated treatments. It also helps women develop healthy habits to reduce the risk of reoccurrence.

“…Assessment of HerSwab diagnostic test could also be achieved by employing the use of mobile health (mhealth) as other scholars have identified a positive correlation between mobile health and cervical cancer screening uptake. [52][53][54] This could be achieved by involving a multidisciplinary team (physicians, nurses, laboratory technicians, IT specialists, etc) to help in designing apps/tools on mobile phones of women who have or are interested in utilizing this method. The technology could help women know the challenges and recommendations on ways to improve how the kit is used as it could increase rates of patronization to help in early detection and early detection of CC.…”

BackgroundHuman papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a major contributor to the development of cervical cancer, resulting in over 500,000 cases and 266,000 deaths annually worldwide. Previous cervical cancer screening programs have been successful in reducing cervical cancer rates, but have faced challenges such as low acceptance and adherence rates. Innovations in screening technology, such as the HerSwab self‐sampling test, have the potential to increase awareness, acceptance, and participation in cervical cancer screening programs.AimThis literature review examines the effectiveness of HerSwab and participatory innovations in increasing adherence to cervical cancer screening.MethodThis manuscript comprised a comprehensive narrative literature review encompassing the years 2006–2022. The review process adhered to the PRISMA diagram as a guiding framework. Among the search terms utilized, a total of 200 articles were initially retrieved. However, after applying the predefined inclusion criteria, only 57 articles were included.ResultsThe HerSwab self‐sampling test is described, including how it is performed, challenges, and facilitators, and evaluation and assessment of its effectiveness. While the HerSwab diagnostic test is not currently widely available, studies should assess its feasibility in less developed countries where cervical cancer mortality rates are high.ConclusionBy increasing awareness and availability of innovative screening techniques, such as HerSwab, we can work toward reducing the incidence of cervical cancer and improving outcomes for women worldwide.
