Ranked based on feedback from actual users, this is a wonderful recognition of Elekta's commitment to innovation. One of the best parts of my role leading the Oncology Software Solutions Business Line is meeting our customers and hearing firsthand the evolving challenges they face that our technology can address.

The future of cancer care

As they cope with growing numbers of patients, cancer centers must depend on informed teams and efficient processes to provide timely and effective care. MOSAIQ is the advanced oncology information system that powers Elekta ONE™ OIS–the heart of our Elekta ONE™ unified software experience. Every patient’s experience is unique, and the data that contributes to their care is generated in many different places. Against this backdrop, our software is working to provide streamlined, personalized care for everyone.

“We already see leveraging such tools in our software solutions improves efficiencies and reduces laborious tasks, boosting productivity for our users.”

Cutting-edge tools, such as automation and AI, are vital to the evolution of oncology software, offering the potential to transform cancer treatments, patient engagement, and clinical decision making. We already see leveraging such tools in our software solutions improves efficiencies and reduces laborious tasks, boosting productivity for our users. They’re also delivering important information and insights into the hands of decision makers as they seek to provide the best possible care. For example:

Releasing time for clinicians

Every clinician wants to maximize the time they have with patients and to minimize the time they spend trolling through data. This is where advances in software automation can make a real difference.

The intelligent automation in MOSAIQ helps clinicians to stay on task and work more efficiently, giving them valuable time back in their day. By centralizing oncology patient data in a single interface, they can access the data they need without leaving their desk, while smart, customizable workspaces help to standardize care throughout an organization.

Informing future care decisions

AI has a valuable role to play in processing and analyzing the different parameters and huge amounts of data involved in providing cancer care. For example, real-world outcome data is a valuable resource, providing actionable insights that can be used to optimize patient care. With Elekta ONE Patient Companion, we pioneered the integration of real-time patient reported outcomes into our oncology care software environment. By filling this gap in real-world outcome data and harnessing the machine learning capabilities of AI, we are now able to offer valuable insights into patient care that can be used to inform future care decisions.

Empowering patients

We also recognize the importance of involving and empowering patients. On a practical level, Patient Companion provides a simple way for patients and their care teams to interact–for patients to report their symptoms and for care teams to intervene in a quick and efficient manner when necessary–helping to boost engagement throughout their treatment. In addition, by helping to prevent an escalation of symptoms, it has the potential to reduce unnecessary emergency room visits.

Accessing the latest innovations

As a unified software experience, Elekta ONE is designed to help cancer centers keep pace with fast-changing technology. Its open and integrated nature ensures smooth interoperability and seamless care pathways, delivering the right information to the right people at the right time. By making Elekta ONE available as a software as a service (SaaS) offering, our customers can secure the latest innovations and functionality quickly and easily, while Elekta Axis cloud hosting provides data security and threat protection.

Continued investment

At Elekta, we believe in exploring and leveraging appropriate innovations to create a fully unified experience of software solutions that helps healthcare providers deliver the best personalized treatment for every patient. Going forward, innovation will remain a core focus for our software developers as we continue to invest in oncology software development.

“Elekta ONE innovation is driven by customer needs, feedback, and input, and so we thank our customers for their contribution in making Elekta ONE OIS a top performer.”
