E-health has emerged as a transformative innovation in healthcare, with significant potential to enhance oncology care through improved accessibility, care coordination, and patient-centered services. However, its adoption remains limited, particularly in resource-constrained settings like Morocco, due to various barriers. This study assessed the perceptions, attitudes, and experiences of oncology healthcare professionals in Morocco regarding e-health and identify key barriers to its integration. This was a cross-sectional study conducted using a structured survey administered to oncology professionals. The survey explored sociodemographic characteristics, professional perceptions, training, and practical experiences with e-health technologies. A total of 130 professionals participated, predominantly women, with an average age of 29.9 years. Most participants (95.4%) stated never having received specific training in e-health, and 86.2% lacked practical experience with these tools. Despite this, most recognized the benefits of e-health, including improved accessibility, reduced waiting times and stronger relationships between patients and professionals. Major barriers identified included insufficient training, poor internet connectivity, and concerns about data security. However, over 60% expressed optimism about e-health’s future role in oncology care. E-health holds great promise for transforming oncology care in Morocco. Addressing barriers through targeted training, improved infrastructure, and legal reforms is essential to realize its potential within smarter, connected healthcare systems.

摘要

E-health has emerged as a transformative innovation in healthcare, with significant potential to enhance oncology care through improved accessibility, care coordination, and patient-centered services. However, its adoption remains limited, particularly in resource-constrained settings like Morocco, due to various barriers. This study assessed the perceptions, attitudes, and experiences of oncology healthcare professionals in Morocco regarding e-health and identify key barriers to its integration. This was a cross-sectional study conducted using a structured survey administered to oncology professionals. The survey explored sociodemographic characteristics, professional perceptions, training, and practical experiences with e-health technologies. A total of 130 professionals participated, predominantly women, with an average age of 29.9 years. Most participants (95.4%) stated never having received specific training in e-health, and 86.2% lacked practical experience with these tools. Despite this, most recognized the benefits of e-health, including improved accessibility, reduced waiting times and stronger relationships between patients and professionals. Major barriers identified included insufficient training, poor internet connectivity, and concerns about data security. However, over 60% expressed optimism about e-health’s future role in oncology care. E-health holds great promise for transforming oncology care in Morocco. Addressing barriers through targeted training, improved infrastructure, and legal reforms is essential to realize its potential within smarter, connected healthcare systems.
