MYRTO AI & KAPA3: Patient-Centred Digital Support, Advocacy & Innovation in Cancer Care

KAPA3 (Cancer Guidance Center) is a Greek non-profit organisation dedicated to improving the cancer journey for patients, caregivers and families through integrated, person-centred support. Operating at the intersection of social care, patient empowerment and digital health, KAPA3 addresses critical barriers to equitable and timely cancer care.

Through its Mobile Information and Support Units and local guidance pathways, KAPA3 provides patients and caregivers with a consistent point of contact throughout the cancer journey. A core strength of KAPA3 is its ability to translate complex medical, administrative, legal and technological information into understandable and patient-friendly content.
