This study is a field trial where "Komp" is implemented and tested as part of Oslo Municipality's home care services for older adults. Komp is a "one button" communication device designed specifically for older adults who are unfamiliar with or struggle to use conventional digital technologies such as smart phones, computers, or tablets. The aim of the trial is to study the effects of increased social contact with family and care services via Komp. In a randomized design, 300 Komp units will be offered to a sample of older municipal home care service recipients. By comparing the intervention group (who are offered to test Komp for free) with the control group (who receive services as usual), the study will uncover if, on average, users of Komp 1) can live longer at home than non-users, 2) have lesser need of home care services, and 3) are happier, safer, and more socially connected.
The goal of this randomized study is to assess the impact on self-perceived quality of life (QoL) of systematic screening and early treatment of aftereffects in patients with gynaecological cancers. The main question it aims to answer is if systematic screening with validated questionaries (see in detailed description), diagnosis and early treatment of lower-limb lymphoedema, anxiety-depression, sexual dysfunction and sarcopenia-malnutrition all have a positive impact on the self-perceived QoL by gynaecological cancer patients. Participants will access the screening questionnaires and QoL questionaries on a free online app on their mobile devices. In the experimental group, in case of positive screening, patients will be referred to specialised care to early treatment of the aftereffects. Researchers will compare this group with standard usual care (opportunistic treatment) to see if systematic screening and early treatment lead to a better QoL.

Secondary outcomes included Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Perceived Stress Score (PSS), Fertility Problem Index (FPI), pregnancy rates, intention to pursue treatment and % pursuing treatment.

The research will be conducted as a quantitative experimental study (as an intervention). For the primary DV, quality of life, there are two effective measures. - Health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL) scales of the SF-36 short form - Euro-QoL instruments (EQ-5D). Additionally, secondary variables assessed will be: - (Physical Activity (the International PA questionnaire, short form - IPAQ) - General Anxiety (the Generalised Anxiety Disorder Assessment - GAD-7 - Symptoms of Depression (the Patient Health Questionnaire - PHQ-9) - Habitual diet will be assessed with the EPIC food frequency questionnaire, - Memory function through the Gorilla online questionnaire (Memory Intrusion - TB1 and TB2). - Health locus of control (Multidimensional Health Locus of Control form C) Participants in the intervention group will be required to complete a 30-minute walk five days a week for 12 weeks. This will be in addition to any regular walking or exercise they are currently doing, which will be assessed via questionnaire at baseline. In the control group, participants will be asked to continue with their daily routines and usual level of physical activity. The baseline measurements will be taken before the intervention at week zero. Subsequently, all the participants will attend a virtual meeting (screening visit) to learn about the key aspects of the research, including the required actions of the control and intervention groups, how to use the act watch and report the required data. All participants in the intervention group and the control group will be required to wear acti-watches, which will be given to them for free. Participants in both groups will be asked to report the number of steps covered each week. Participants will report this information through an online link provided by the researcher. Each participant will access their data through an app that comes with the watch, however, the researchers will not have access to the app
