Develop and Evaluate An Artificial Intelligence Assisted Prehabilitation Program for Returning to Work and Cost-effectiveness Analysis in Patients With Oral Cancer

The goal of this clinical trial is to develop and evaluate an Artificial Intelligence Assisted Prehabilitation Program (AI APP) for returning to work and cost-effectiveness analysis in patients with oral cancer (OC). The main questions it aims to answer are: * What kinds of needs are related to returning to work (RTW) in patients with OC from diagnosis to survival that we can incorporate into the development of AI APP to assist this population ? * How is the effect of the AI APP that based on findings from the first question for patients with OC on physical and psychological distress, fear of recurrence, self-efficacy in coping with cancer, communication, motor function, quality of life, and RTW? * How is the effect of the RTW AI prediction model to identify high-risk groups ? And how is the comprehensive cost effectiveness of benefits and quality of life of the AI APP for OC population? Researchers will compare patients without using AI APP to see if the AI APP works to assist with coping physical and psychological distress, communication, motor function, quality of life, and RTW issues for individuals with OC? Participants will: * Be asked to fulfill a structural questionnaire, or engage in a semi-structured one-by-one interview or a focus group to assess their physical, psychological, and social support needs in the first stage. * Be invited to participant the pilot testing of AI APP in the second stage. * Be provided and trained by 3-month AI APP for 3 months or cared as usual in the third stage. * Complete a structural questionnaire and follow up one year, including the baseline (before using the AI app) and at 1-2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months after the baseline. * Engage in one-by-one interview or a focus group to assess user experiences of the AI APP.

Outcomes of ICT Assistive Technology in RehabiliTAtIoN Pathways

The study aims to improve the quality of prosthetic intervention and verify the adequacy of assistive devices, and measurement outcomes. Fifty patients in need of prosthetic interventions for Augmentative Alternative Communication, computer accessibility, and environmental control will be recruited within the DAT Unit of the Fondazione Don Carlo Gnocchi "IRCCS S.Maria Nascente" in Milan. At baseline (T0) a physician and a psychologist will perform a clinical evaluation and the AT outcome assessment. The participants will be contacted for the follow-up phase (T1) 3 to 6 months after having received the assistive solution. At T1 clinicians will readminister the AT outcome assessment. In order to make the assessment accessible to all participants, these tests and questionnaires will be administered on Windows PCs, using Grid3 software, or on a specifically created accessible web page.
