However, the extent to which these tools will enhance both disease-centered and human-centered care depends on which values, outcomes, and processes diverse stakeholders and sectors prioritize. Human-centered care recognizes the uniqueness and inherent value of individuals and values the inimitability of human relationships. In this Viewpoint, we call for prioritization of human-centered care in the design and implementation of digital health tools. After summarizing key ethical frameworks, we provide examples of digital innovations from Brazil, India, and the United States that demonstrate how choices in design, implementation, and evaluation can enhance human-centered care provision. In addition, we provide recommendations to support clinicians, researchers, and health systems in prioritizing human-centered care, including the involvement of patients, caregivers, and communitie","cbCainetwkL1MuXI","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainetwkL1MuXI","pdf",737731,"English","# Summary\n# Introduction\n## The Human Crisis of Cancer\n## Advances and Investment Gaps\n# Viewpoint","[{\"question\":\"What is the core argument of the viewpoint on digital cancer care?\",\"answer\":\"Digital health tools should be designed and implemented with prioritization of human-centered care, not only disease-centered efficiency.
