Topic: Visualizing Survivorship Care to Address Health Inequities and Digital Innovations in Rural Communities in British Columbia: Implementation Science

Dr. Melba D’Souza’s work bridges the gap between rural communities and cancer survivorship care through digital health innovations. Her session will explore how community partnerships can co-develop culturally relevant, technology-driven solutions that:

- Improve digital literacy
- Deliver psychosocial support
- Enhance equitable access to care in rural and remote areas

With a career dedicated to advancing equity and culturally sensitive oncology care, Dr. D’Souza’s pioneering research demonstrates how technology can transform supportive and survivorship care for underserved populations.
