The time of discharge from the hospital -although eagerly awaited- is a great challenge for young cancer patients after stem cell transplantation and their families. The transition from inpatient to outpatient care, where they will be fully responsible for their own care, bare many uncertainties and complications, making communication and exchange of information with their care providers hugely important. In this workshop we aim to come up with new ideas to improve communication and motivation/compliance of children and adolescents: What new/special incentives could be offered to keep a young person motivated to cooperate with the clinic, even though they are suffering severely and are at constant risk of death or developing severe late effects?

INTERACCT is an e-health platform aiming to foster communication between patients, families and care providers which may lead to earlier detection of possibly life-threatening complications. INTERACCT provides patients and caregivers with the information and support needed and promotes active involvement and self-care education.
