Technologies to Improve QoL of Prostate Cancer

The M.I.O Project, which stands for Comprehensive Oncological Medicine, aims to comprehensively and multidisciplinary address the effects of prostate cancer, specifically in patients with hormone-sensitive metastatic prostate cancer (HSMPC), an advanced stage of the disease that still offers prolonged survival due to new medications. The proposal seeks to develop a healthcare approach that promotes self-care and improves the physical and mental health of patients. Despite growing scientific evidence supporting an integrative approach in oncological care, the provision of personalized options for exercise, nutrition, and psychological therapy before, during, and after diagnosis remains limited. The project proposes to develop tools such as a dedicated mobile application that provides HSMPC patients access to various resources and therapies to improve their health, focusing on nutrition, exercise, and emotional well-being. M.I.O represents an innovative and holistic approach to addressing these patients' needs and improving their overall well-being. The main goal is to measure the quality of life of the application users through validated questionnaires in a randomized health education study to assess if there is a substantial improvement in their well-being.
