Moving to an active lifestyle in cancer survivors: A context-aware personalized eHealth approach
Cancer survivors know they should stay active, but many struggle to achieve this goal. Current support lacks personalization and fails to account for individual contexts, from weather conditions to work schedules to persistent fatigue and pain.
We are developing the first context-aware, personalized eHealth app for cancer survivors. By combining behavioral science expertise in chronic symptom management with AI-powered algorithms, our intervention adapts to each person's unique circumstances and preferences.
This interdisciplinary approach bridges the critical gap between knowledge and action, creating a truly personalized digital health platform that improves quality of life for those who have faced cancer.
