Mon reseau (R) cancer du sein, a Social Network based on Proximity

摘要

Mon reseau (R) cancer du sein is a social network launched in July 2014. It is dedicated to patients with breast cancer and their relatives. The website Mon reseau (R) cancer du sein was developed on the basis of personal experiences in the frame of the association Patients en reseau, which gather breast cancer patients and their relatives. The concrete daily needs of the patients during their treatment are at the heart of the project. Mon reseau (R) cancer du sein is a free and secured social website designed to encourage patients to share their experiences and to support exchanges between patients or between relatives. By providing access to professionals, associations, and care givers specific to their needs, patients benefit from a close network of information and practical, daily support. It acts as a facilitator to reduce the burden of disease.
