Pilot sites

The pilot sites are conducting testing and validation studies, gathering data to inform policy recommendations, guiding healthcare organisations and governments in resource allocation.

The primary objective of this clinical study is to assess the feasibility and potential effectiveness of the MAYA digital health hub (known as the iCARE health hub), in monitoring cardiovascular-related factors and improving lifestyle factors that can contribute to heart disease (e.g., physical activity and physical fitness, smoking and alcohol consumption) for adolescents and young adults (AYA) who have undergone cancer treatment.

The secondary objectives of this clinical study include:

Assess information needs of individuals who undergo cancer treatment as AYAs aged 15-39 and compare the needs at the different phases of the cancer treatment journey.
Measure levels of satisfaction and the overall user experience, focusing on usability, accessibility, and perceived effectiveness in promoting healthy lifestyles to prevent cardiovascular late effects of cancer treatment.
Investigate facilitators and barriers to adopting digital health solutions among AYA.
Investigate the role of gender, age and health status differences in the effectiveness and utilisation of digital health solutions in improving AYA cardiovascular health prevention.
