Integrating perspectives of patients, healthcare professionals, system developers and academics in the co-design of a digital information tool.

<h4>Background</h4>Patients diagnosed with cancer who are due to commence radiotherapy, often, despite the provision of a considerable amount of information, report a range of unmet information needs about the treatment process. Factors such as inadequate provision of information, or the...
