The number of e-health consultancy is permanently increasing.
People search for medical information in the internet before they consult a doctor.
They feel more safe in the anonymous space and less ashamed to disclose their problems.
On that background the study forms the base for the development of the first German patient-centered internet site that is intended to motivate cancer patients to ask for psychotherapeutic support.
With the help of professional actors cases like suffering from anxiety, depression or fatigue will be authentically exposed, explained and commented by experts.
The site will provide a self-reflecting, informative, motivational and even consulting space for patients and their families.
