Digital Tool for Psychological Support in Women With Breast Cancer
Sponsor: Hospital Costa del Sol
Summary
This study will design, test, and evaluate SerenApp, a digital health tool created to support women after completing treatment for breast cancer. Many women live for many years after breast cancer, but a large number continue to experience emotional difficulties such as anxiety, sadness, stress, or fear of the cancer coming back. These problems can strongly affect quality of life and are often not addressed during routine medical visits. SerenApp is being developed as a safe, easy-to-use mobile application that provides psychological support and practical resources to help breast cancer survivors manage these challenges. What makes this project different is that the app will be created together with patients and healthcare professionals, to ensure that it responds to real needs and is adapted to the public health system in Spain. The main questions of the study are: Can SerenApp help women feel less anxious, depressed, or stressed and improve their overall quality of life? Will women and professionals find the app useful, acceptable, and easy to use? Could this digital tool reduce the need for additional healthcare resources and be cost-effective for the health system?
