Co-design of a Smartphone App for Cancer Patients
Digital tools, such as smartphone apps, offer promising opportunities to enhance cancer supportive care. Smartphone apps can measure patients' symptoms and provide personalized advice on supportive care interventions. However, to date, a patient-centric approach (i.e., co-designing an app with users) is lacking in the development of such apps. By co-designing the app with users, potential barriers to implementation, such as engagement and usability, can be addressed, leading to increased adherence and a more sucessful implementation. The aim of this project is to use a patient-centric approach to design and develop a smartphone app for cancer patients.
Specific tasks for the student joining the research team include:
1. Conducting interviews with users (i.e., patients).
2. Conducting a literature review on co-design studies for the development of smartphone apps.
3. Analyzing data collected during interviews to identify important requirements and features for the app and improve its usability.
4. Writing the master thesis, with the results potentially contributing to a manuscript.
Ideal candidates must speak German.
