A Point of Prostate Cancer Diagnosis Virtual Reality Assistant Intervention in Supporting Newly Diagnosed Black Men

Sponsor: Mayo Clinic

Summary

This clinical trial tests how well a point of prostate cancer diagnosis (PPCD) virtual reality assistant (ViRA) intervention works in supporting Black men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer. Cancer is the second leading cause of death for African American/Black men, with prostate cancer leading in estimated new cancer cases and second in estimated new cancer deaths. Over 40,000 African American/Black men are diagnosed with prostate cancer annually, with 1 in 6 lifetime probability of developing prostate cancer compared to 1 in 8 probability in White men. The PPCD ViRA provides psycho-oncology support, social determinants of health navigation and emotional support for ethnically diverse African American/Black men newly diagnosed with prostate cancer using artificial intelligence and augmented reality. Using PPCD ViRA may close the prostate cancer care gap for African American/Black men across the cancer continuum and provide emotional, educational, and resource needs of this population when they are visiting a doctor about their prostate health or prostate cancer.
