About
Ylva Tiblom Ehrsson is a leading researcher in supportive cancer care, with a particular focus on the psychosocial and practical needs of patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) and their informal caregivers. Her work bridges oncology, nursing, and digital health, aiming to improve quality of life for both patients and the family members who support them. In her highly cited 2023 study, Ehrsson developed a Positive Design Framework for carer eSupport, drawing on qualitative research with informal caregivers in Sweden. This framework provides a structured, evidence-based approach to creating digital tools that empower caregivers—often spouses or close relatives—who are frequently unprepared for the demands of home-based care. By centering caregiver well-being and practical support, her research addresses a critical gap in HNC care. With over 15 citations for this single paper and a growing body of work, Ehrsson’s contributions are shaping how healthcare systems integrate digital support for families. Her achievements highlight the importance of user-centered design in oncology, making her a key voice in the movement toward holistic, family-inclusive cancer care.
