Penilla Gunther: Supporting cancer survivors with the smartCARE app
Penilla Gunther, Member of the EU Cancer Mission and Former Member of Swedish Parliament, posted the following on LinkedIn:
“I have been a proud Co-chair of the Steering Committee together with Dr. Dégi László Csaba for the smartCARE project, managed by the European Cancer Organisation and Jack Latteur as project coordinator. Thanks also to Mike Morrissey who has been leading the organization and built trust for several EU projects together with many project partners.
I do believe in all kinds of support to cancer survivors as well as to those who are in a treatment process, ensuring they are not alone. The smartCARE app can be one of these tools. Please take part in the video.”
