A meta-analysis of oncology papers from around the world revealed that cancer patients who lived more than 50 miles away from hospital centers routinely presented with more advanced stages of disease at diagnosis, exhibited lower adherence to prescribed treatments, presented with poorer diagnoses, and reported a lower quality of life than patients who lived nearer to care facilities. Connected health approaches-or the use of broadband and telecommunications technologies to evaluate, diagnose, and monitor patients beyond the clinic-are becoming an indispensable tool in medicine to overcome the obstacle of distance.
