Patient-centered Development of the Cancer Support Community's Open to Options ®Chatbot Program Cancer Treatment Support in Partnership With the Cancer Support Community
This study is designed to study the feasibility and acceptability of the Open to Options (O2O) Chatbot prototype. The O2O program is an existing patient support program with content currently delivered via in-person counseling with a trained mental health professional or via an existing web-based program (Let's Talk Treatment Options).The Chatbot is an automated, menu-based agent being developed in this study to extend the reach and accessibility of the O2O program via the Chatbot's "virtual coaching".

Women with primary breast cancer may benefit from participating in supports groups as they cope with treatment and the psychological challenges of survivorship. Studies have documented that these women benefit from support groups run in a university setting; however, no one has documented that they benefit from community cancer support groups. Many community cancer support groups exist and provide service to a large number of women with breast cancer. It is important to know if these groups are providing comparable service to well researched support groups. We conducted this study as the first randomized study of community compared to university-style support groups. Women had a 50/50 chance of being assigned to either a community or a university style support group based on a coin flip. This study took place in two sites The Wellness Community East Bay (Walnut Creek) and San Francisco. Two community groups were studied. i) This study evaluated the strengths and weaknesses of two community-based support group interventions for breast cancer patients [The Wellness (TWC) and Cancer Support (CSC) Communities, in the San Francisco area]. We compared them with a type of therapy developed in the university setting (Stanford's Supportive-Expressive group therapy), studied which aspects are most effective, and who benefits the most. We compared these women on change in emotional distress, means of coping with cancer, and social and family support. In addition, change in physiological response to stress was measured using saliva samples. ii) We were able to achieve recruitment for 6 of 8 groups proposed. We randomized 72 women in blocks of 12 taking consecutive women per site until we accrued 12 for each group. Of those, 61 women actually attended groups, of those 46 women to date completed at least one follow-up and were available for analysis for this report. We screened 108 women, 16 who were screened out on initial phone contact, 20 women began to go through our baseline interviews and assessments and either decided not to enroll or dropped out before we could compose a group for the second S.F. randomization. Our final two follow-up assessments for our final group in the East Bay are being conducted right now (8 month) and will be conducted in October, 2002 (12 month) so they are not available for assay or analysis for this final report. iii) We examined 5 outcome variables for this report and found that women participating in the community groups changed at about the same level over the 4 months of group therapy as the women in the Stanford groups. This was true for depression symptoms, trauma symptoms, social support, self-efficacy, and post-traumatic-growth. These analyses are preliminary until we complete our final follow-up assessments. It is encouraging for the community groups that women benefited at the same rate as they did in the well-researched Stanford groups. Conclusions for this study are somewhat limited because we could not complete the recruitment of our entire sample. However, there is every reason to suppose that community groups are as effective at serving women with primary breast cancer as Stanford's groups though they are based on very different ideas of therapy. It is important to note that all of these groups were led by therapists, and that we may have found other results if the groups had been led by peers or other types of professionals. This study reduces the human and economic cost of breast cancer in California by validating community groups usually offered free to women with breast cancer.

LIFECHAMPS: A Collective Intelligence Platform to Support Cancer Champions Real-Life Pilot
The LifeChamps Real-Life pilot's objective is to ascertain the feasibility of the use of the LifeChamps solution, previously developed in another clinical trial, in a real-world environment. This solution integrates a health advisory system, and technical intelligence, based on behavioural science, to provide personalized recommendations to follow a healthier lifestyle, to act as a nutrition and physical activity coach, and to guide on social inclusion, among other issues, with the aim of increasing the quality of life. This study is conducted to investigate the feasibility of such an undertaking, assess the clinical impact it may have, as well as evaluate the applicability, usability, and effectiveness of the solution.

LIFECHAMPS: A Collective Intelligence Platform to Support Cancer Champions Small-Scale Pilot
The aim of this study is to facilitate collection of real-world data to test and train the analytics engine for each prototype algorithm. Preliminary datasets will be generated to enable a dry run of the prototype algorithms to check their predictive functionality as part of simulated 'experimental' scenarios at each LifeChamps partner site. This preparatory work will be critical to the development of the LifeChamps platform, prior to progressing to a larger scale feasibility trial.

Advanced Cancer Support In Virtual Rehabilitation and Exercise in North Zone (ACTIVE-North): a Feasibility Study
Background: People with advanced cancer experience fatigue and loss of functioning, which often worsens as their cancer progresses. Rehabilitation programs may help to reduce fatigue and improve overall physical function. People with advanced cancer who live in rural and remote areas lack access to cancer-specific rehabilitation and exercise expertise to manage complex symptoms of high intensity. Their access to in-person services at tertiary sites are further reduced due to public health requirements for physical distancing during the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 pandemic. Aim: To test the feasibility of a virtual program delivered by a team of cancer-specific rehabilitation, exercise and pain and symptom experts for remote and rural patients with advanced cancer to address their symptoms, functioning and quality of life. Design: The virtual program will be tailored to the individual person, and consist of online exercise modules, online supervised interactive group class and one-to-one virtual meetings with an exercise or rehabilitation specialist and a palliative care physician. Relevance: This study will determine whether a virtual multidisciplinary rehabilitation and exercise program is feasible for people with advanced cancer. Further, it will provide insight on how fatigue and loss of functioning can best be managed for this population in remote and rural locations.

Artificial Intelligence Supporting CAncer Patients Across Europe - the ASCAPE Project
ASCAPE (Artificial intelligence Supporting CAncer Patients across Europe) is a collaborative research project involving 15 partners from 7 countries, including academic medical centers, SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises), research centers and universities, aiming to leverage the recent advances in Big Data and AI (Artificial Intelligence) to support cancer patients' Quality of Life (QoL) and health status. Specifically, ASCAPE aims to provide personalized- and AI-based predictions for QoL issues in breast- and prostate cancer patients as well as suggest potential interventions to their physicians. This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 875351.
