Since Careology was first piloted at Nuffield Health Derby Hospital, the partnership has expanded across Nuffield Health's oncology network of 10 hospitals offering systemic anti-cancer therapy services, supporting patients undergoing cancer treatment with digital tools that enable them to stay connected with their healthcare team from home.
Julie Little, clinical head of nursing oncology at Nuffield Health Derby Hospital, said: ‘Keeping patients safe is the most important thing we do. Often, patients tell us they only contacted the team because Careology prompted them to, believing their symptoms were nothing to worry about. In reality, some required urgent clinical support. By helping us identify issues sooner, the app has enabled us to step in quickly and prevent patients from becoming seriously unwell.'
Through Careology, patients can log symptoms, monitor side effects and track medications from home, with information shared directly with their clinical team. This provides greater visibility of patients' wellbeing between appointments, prompting patients to contact their clinical team when needed and enabling clinicians to identify concerning symptoms earlier and intervene more quickly when support or treatment adjustments may be needed.
Patient engagement with Careology has continued to grow across Nuffield Health, with rates increasing by 22% compared with 2025 to reach 95% in 2026.
