About this study
Official title: Co-Designing and Testing the Feasibility of a Gamified AI Medical Yoga App for Home-Based Cancer Rehabilitation
The project aims to develop a gamified medical yoga intervention through co-design with patients with cancer and key stakeholders, ensuring alignment with user needs and requirements. The first objective is to identify user and stakeholder needs, preferences, and requirements for effective home-based training. The project will then examine facilitators and barriers that influence patient engagement with gamification interventions. Subsequently, it will assess the feasibility, acceptability, including usability and acceptability, of the gamified AI yoga intervention for patients with cancer in real-world implementation contexts.
