S8 Ep 2: Leveraging Mobile Health to Improve Adherence
Last Updated: February 27, 2025
What if mobile health technology could improve cancer treatment adherence and foster better communication between patients and providers? In this episode of The PQI Podcast, Dr. Ilana Graetz from Emory University explores her innovative research on using digital tools to enhance capecitabine adherence in women with breast cancer. She also discusses the role of remote monitoring and health tech in improving oncology care.
Ilana Graetz, PhD, is an Associate Professor at Emory University’s Rollins School of Public Health and leader of the Cancer Prevention and Control Research Program at the Winship Cancer Institute. Dr. Graetz’s research centers on leveraging health information technology to transform care delivery and improve patient outcomes. As the principal investigator and co-investigator on numerous federally and institutionally funded studies, her work encompasses a wide range of topics, including data analytics, the use of electronic health records and patient portals to enhance care quality and coordination, telehealth innovations, remote monitoring, and patient-reported outcomes. She also leads efforts to design and evaluate mobile health interventions that strengthen patient-provider communication, support treatment adherence, and improve health outcomes.
