Currently the gold standard for monitoring of these lesions is through a biopsy. The aim of this study was to identify and explore potential touchpoints based on a service design perspective for improvement of the detection and monitoring of OPMDs and oral cancer. Methods: Interviews were conducted in 42 patients (oral leukoplakia (OL) and oral cancer (OC) patients), focusing on experiences within the diagnostic and monitoring process of their (pre)malignant lesions and analyzed through thematic analysis. Results: The need for innovation was most evident in several critical phases: the initial stage of symptom recognition and referral to a specialist and the ongoing monitoring phase, at the specialist and at home. Conclusion: From a patients\u2019 perspective for both OL and OC, touchpoints for innovations are perceived to be mostly needed in the detection phase. This underlines the need for the development of diagnostic tests to support more effective, patient-centered solutions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/shti260602","type":"book-chapter","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,21]],"date-time":"2026-05-21T22:09:54Z","timestamp":1779401394000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Monitoring of Potential Malignant Oral Lesions and Oral Cancer; Touchpoints for Innovations to Improve Oral Healthcare"],"prefix":"10.3233","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-5288-6739","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"M.C.C.","family":"Groenevelt","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Amsterdam UMC location University of Amsterdam, Department of Medical Informatics, eHealth Living and Learning Lab Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands"},{"name":"Amsterdam Public Health Research Institute, Quality of Care, Digital Health, Amsterdam, The Netherlands"},{"name":"Amsterdam UMC location University of Amsterdam, Department of Public and Occupational Health, Amsterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9937-7024","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"M.P.","family":"Fransen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Amsterdam Public Health Research Institute, Quality of Care, Digital Health, Amsterdam, The Netherlands"},{"name":"Amsterdam UMC location University of Amsterdam, Department of Public and Occupational Health, Amsterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1776-3779","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"J.B.","family":"Poell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Amsterdam UMC location Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Department of Otolaryngology\/Head and Neck Surgery, Cancer Center Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0944-4356","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"W.H.","family":"Schreuder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery \/ Oral Pathology, Amsterdam UMC, Location VUmc and Academic Centre for Dentistry Amsterdam (ACTA), Amsterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9669-7452","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"E.R.","family":"Brouns","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Amsterdam UMC location Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Department of Otolaryngology\/Head and Neck Surgery, Cancer Center Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands"},{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery \/ Oral Pathology, Amsterdam UMC, Location VUmc and Academic Centre for Dentistry Amsterdam (ACTA), Amsterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9859-0912","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"L.W.P.","family":"Dusseljee-Peute","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Amsterdam UMC location University of Amsterdam, Department of Medical Informatics, eHealth Living and Learning Lab Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands"},{"name":"Amsterdam Public Health Research Institute, Quality of Care, Digital Health, Amsterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"7437","container-title":["Studies in Health Technology and Informatics","Opening the Personal Gate between Technology and Health Care"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/ebooks.iospress.nl\/pdf\/doi\/10.3233\/SHTI260602","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,21]],"date-time":"2026-05-21T22:09:55Z","timestamp":1779401395000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/ebooks.iospress.nl\/doi\/10.3233\/SHTI260602"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,21]]},"ISBN":["9781643686615"],"references-count":0,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3233\/shti260602","relation":{},"ISSN":["0926-9630","1879-8365"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0926-9630","type":"print"},{"value":"1879-8365","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,21]]}}}
