What this trial studies
This study aims to assess the feasibility of implementing digitally supported rehabilitation for cancer patients during and after systemic treatment. It focuses on remote physical rehabilitation to improve quality of life, functional ability, and participation in everyday life. The study addresses barriers such as distance to rehabilitation facilities and heavy treatment schedules that may hinder patient participation. By utilizing telehealth, the research seeks to enhance accessibility to rehabilitation services for cancer survivors, particularly in rural areas.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly improve access to rehabilitation services for cancer patients, enhancing their recovery and quality of life.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in utilizing telehealth for rehabilitation, indicating potential success for this novel approach.
