Abstract
Introduction: The need for quality follow-up cancer care is on the rise, particularly for older adults. LifeChamps (https://lifechamps.eu/) is creating a digital support platform based on artificial intelligence and big data analytics to integrate patient-reported outcomes, sensor data and routine clinical data, to enhance follow-up cancer care. Our co-creation phase explored the views and expectations of potential end-users (patients, family/ caregivers and health professionals) of the developing system. Methods: This mixed-methods design involved end-users from Greece, Spain, Sweden and the UK. Data collection was performed via either online surveys or telephone interviews. Framework analysis was applied to the dataset. Results: A total of 155 end-users participated, commenting on expected advantages, anticipated challenges, desired functionality and implementation aspects. Patients/family members generally felt it would be useful for personalised support and aid communication as there was frustration with the lack of follow-up services. Health professionals were supportive of the “proactive” functionality of the system. Anticipated challenges included issues with information management, impact on workload and infrastructure, and comfort in using technology. Conclusions: The varied end-user insights into system requirements form a solid basis for action and further consultation in subsequent development cycles.
