Improving symptoms for women after cancer treatment: A trial of the i-CanManage application
Cancer Wellness Program in Vietnam aims to improve common symptoms management and wellness in women after cancer treatment. This project is led by Dr. Nguyen Thi Hoa Huyen and funded by VinUniversity, featured by an interdisciplinary team including researchers and students in Health Sciences and Computer Science.
This project consists of 3 main phases (see graph below)
The objective of Phase 1 is to identify common symptoms among women after cancer treatment in Vietnam.
In Phase 2, a cancer management program will be developed that covers contents related to life after cancer, common symptoms, and symptom management as well as a 12-week intervention program focusing on exercise and physical activity. The 12-week program will be delivered via a smart app named i-CanManage, which stands for internet-based Cancer Management. This application aims to promote wellness among women after cancer treatment through exercise and general information related to common symptom management.
In phase 3 of this project, a pilot randomized controlled trial will be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the cancer management program as well as the usability and transferability of the smart app.
