The Hellenic Association of Women with Breast Cancer, Alma Zois, has announced a new programme, ‘Digital Leap: Help Online’, for women who have experienced breast cancer and have difficulty using new digital technologies.
Through three standalone workshops, participants will have the opportunity to develop or improve their digital skills and learn to use essential tools relating to their healthcare and the health system.
The programme aims to empower patients by developing the digital skills they need to manage their health more independently, while promoting equal access to online health services.
The programme is funded by the net proceeds of Greece Race for the Cure®.
Workshop programme
Each workshop lasts two hours and takes place at the association's offices, at 11 Ipirou Street, second floor.
The first series of workshops is scheduled as follows:
- Beginners (Tuesday 17 February 2026, 2–4pm): getting to grips with basic digital tools, including smart device functions, connecting to Wi-Fi, safe use, installing applications, browsing websites, and setting up and using email.
- Intermediate (Tuesday 24 February 2026, 2–4pm): using basic online services independently, including paperless prescriptions, access to the Electronic Patient Record and booking appointments.
- Advanced (Tuesday 3 March 2026, 2–4pm): digital independence, including online applications to the Disability Certification Centres (KEPA), submitting supporting documents, using the MyHealth app and digital health record, protecting personal data and creating a personal health diary.
