Digital Tool for Psychological Support in Women With Breast Cancer

The project has two main parts: Co-creation phase: Women who have had breast cancer and healthcare providers (such as oncologists, nurses, and psychologists) will participate in workshops and group discussions. They will share their experiences, identify needs, and help design the functions and content of the app. This ensures that the final product is adapted to what patients and professionals really want and need. Pilot clinical study: Women who have finished their breast cancer treatment will be invited to join the study. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: Intervention group: Women will use SerenApp for 8 weeks. The app includes exercises, information, and resources to help manage emotions, improve coping strategies, and feel more in control of their health. Control group: Women will continue with their usual follow-up care. All participants will complete questionnaires at the beginning and end of the study to measure emotional well-being, quality of life, satisfaction with care, and use of healthcare services. After the 8 weeks, some women will take part in group interviews to share their opinions and experiences using the app. By combining patient and professional input with scientific evaluation, this project will test whether SerenApp is a feasible and effective way to provide psychological support to breast cancer survivors. If it works as expected, SerenApp could become a valuable tool for women, families, and health services, offering accessible, evidence-based support to improve emotional well-being after cancer.
