A Single-Arm Interventional Trial of Pepper- Robot Delivered Cancer Education for Adults With Intellectual Disability

Individuals with Intellectual disability face numerous barriers to cancer education, awareness and screening, including communication challenges, anxiety, and a lack of accessible educational resources. Traditional methods often fail to meet their unique learning needs, contributing to lower screening rates , delayed diagnoses and poorer outcomes.. Socially assistive robots, have demonstrated effectiveness in delivering interactive, engaging, and tailored education, helping individuals with cognitive impairments better understand medical procedures and the importance of preventive care. The study investigators propose to conduct a pilot single arm clinical trial with a semi humanoid robot to deliver cancer awareness education to adults with intellectual disability attending a disability day service in Ireland .The semi humanoid robot will be programmed to engage in 2 way communication about the cancer related educational content that is uploaded on its system. .Approximately 25 adults with ID will receive the robot led educational intervention addressing both breast and colorectal cancer awareness and screening. This a pragmatic pilot study to inform a future larger controlled clinical trial Our overall objective is to Improve breast and colorectal cancer awareness knowledge level among adults with ID receiving a robot-delivered education intervention

Breast Mapping and Detection of Suspicious Breast Lesions Using Feminai

Prospective observational study evaluating the safety and accuracy of Feminai 1.0, an at-home adhesive patch that measures skin temperature and electrical impedance to map each breast. Up to 300 women (ages 25-75) undergoing screening will have one study visit; Feminai results will be compared with mammography and, when available, biopsy to assess sensitivity and negative predictive value. Feminai is investigational, intended to support clinical decision-making, and does not replace standard diagnostic tests.

UCF MammoChat: Image Repository

This study aims to develop AI models to better read diagnostic mammograms for various populations and types of breast cancer, using the images that participants donate and their responses from study questionnaire to improve patient outcomes. This study also aims to provide mammography images to participants.

A Quasi-Experimental Study to Improve Breast Cancer Awareness Among University Students

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women worldwide and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Despite advances in early detection and screening methods, breast cancer remains a significant public health issue, especially in populations with low awareness levels. This study aims to evaluate the effect of a breast cancer education program on the knowledge and awareness of female students at Mardin Artuklu University. The study will include 100 voluntary female students aged 18 and older from five faculties, selected using cluster sampling. Participants will complete a Personal Information Form, the Comprehensive Breast Cancer Knowledge Test, and the Breast Cancer Awareness Scale before the intervention. They will then attend a five-session breast cancer education program, with each session lasting 90 minutes. A post-test will be administered two months after the completion of the training. The education program is expected to improve students' knowledge and awareness of breast cancer, encourage early detection behaviors, and contribute to the prevention and early diagnosis of breast cancer.
