Orange County, California (PRWEB) June 10, 2015 -- Expert data recently released has shown that patients’ knowledge about their own cancer was generally poor, particularly for minorities. Results of the survey conducted by a leading cancer institute in Boston1 demonstrates a clear lack of understanding on the part of many patients about their cancers. The research team concluded that there is an identified and critical need for improved patient education and provider awareness. The survey was conducted among 500 women with breast cancer.
Willowglade Technologies is addressing this issue head on with its Personalized Patient Experience PlatformTM, which has been deployed on Azure.
“The data and analysis recently published in Cancer, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society, illustrates the need to dramatically improve the quality and effectiveness of education for cancer patients supporting their diagnosis and treatment” said John Papandrea, CEO and President of Willowglade Technologies. “By providing our platform to healthcare providers, payors and pharmaceutical organizations on Azure, we have a high degree of confidence in our ability to rapidly scale globally as demand for our platform grows.”
“Healthcare is a rapidly changing environment, and the diagnosis and treatment of cancer is evolving rapidly,” said Vibhor Kapoor, Director of Product Marketing, Microsoft Azure. “The Willowglade Technologies Personalized Patient Experience Platform will make a significant contribution to the way in which cancer patients learn, understand and collaborate around their diagnosis and treatment, and we are proud that Azure is the basis for this platform.”
Azure runs on a growing global network of Microsoft-managed datacenters across 19 regions, giving Willowglade Technologies a wide range of options for running applications and ensuring their customers always get great performance.
