Maria Alice Franzoi is a Brazilian medical oncologist focused on digital health, implementation science and breast cancer care delivery.  She performed her training in internal medicine and oncology in Brazil (Hospital das Clinicas de Porto Alegre), and a fellowship and PhD in breast cancer oncology at the Jules Bordet Institut and Université Libre de Bruxelles. She is part of the Cancer Survivorship Group at Gustave Roussy. Her research aims to co-design with patients and providers and implement digital health pathways in oncology to achieve improved and equitable care, reorganizing healthcare systems to empower providers to better use health data and patients to take an active part on their care. She led important digital health efforts including the implementation of a remote symptom monitoring pathway using ePROs and nurse navigation in routine care across 42 hospitals in France and Belgium and a proactive care pathway to empower and support breast cancer survivors. 

She is investigating innovative care models that include digital thepeutics for patient self-management, innovative capture of patient generated data, including facilitating data exchange for care coordination and equitable care. She is also involved on efforts to empower patients to act as co-researchers in clinical research and to build infrastructures for decentralised and inclusive clinical trials. 

Her research is supported by an ASCO Conquer Cancer/BCRF Career Development Award.
