Alberta Metastatic Breast Cancer (mBC) Support Platform
What is the Alberta mBC Support Platform?
The platform has been co-designed by mBC patients for mBC patients using a health platform called Zamplo. Dr. Nancy Nixon co-created the application features with patient advisors to serve metastatic breast cancer patients across Alberta. The goal of this support platform is to improve decision-making and care for patients with metastatic breast cancer.
The Role of Healthcare Providers
Our hope is that all healthcare professionals that engage with metastatic breast cancer patients will help to build awareness of the platform. Increasing awareness encourages more patients to access this free resource to support them on their journey.
Zamplo will provide platform support directly to all patients and caregivers. However, if you ever have any questions, please reach out to the Zamplo team.
