Newark, Delaware (March 31, 2026): 5thPort is proud to announce that research co-authored by its team has been selected for a prestigious podium presentation at the American Head and Neck Society (AHNS) 12th Annual International Conference on Head and Neck Cancer. The conference will take place July 18–22, 2026, at the Menino Convention and Exhibition Center in Boston, Massachusetts.

The accepted paper, titled “Impact of AI-Avatar Based Digital Patient Engagement on Treatment Understanding, Empowerment and Stress for HNSCC in a US Community Radiation Oncology Practice,” highlights innovative work at the intersection of artificial intelligence and patient-centered care. The study explores how AI-powered avatar technology can enhance patient understanding, reduce anxiety, and improve overall engagement during treatment for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).

The research, co-authored by 5thPort’s Co-Founder Navroze Eduljee, will be presented by Adam Raben, MD, as part of the “Proffered Papers 26 – Patient Education” session on Monday, July 20, 2026, from 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM.

The AHNS International Conference is one of the most respected gatherings in the field, bringing together leading clinicians, researchers, and innovators dedicated to improving the treatment and quality of life for patients with head and neck cancers.

5thPort looks forward to sharing these findings with the international medical community and continuing to push the boundaries of patient engagement through technology.
