Finalist Projects

CINDERELLA
Country: Portugal

The side effects of breast cancer treatment remain a serious problem for women who undergo surgery, in fact, although breast cancer surgery has improved, still in 30% of cases the aesthetic results are poor. Aesthetic results are important not only because of its role in breast cancer patients, but also because it can measure performance in breast units. However, there is no reproducible and easy method for this assessment. The main reasons are the lack of information of patients about the aesthetic outcome and also the influence of personal factors. The goal of Cinderella is to create a better tool for aesthetic evaluation, through the correct information and preparation of the patient.

PINKTRAINER
Country: Netherlands

An E-health application for a holistic approach of exercise, nutrition and motivational support for (ex)cancer patients before, during or after treatment. Pinktrainer consists of a dashboard with user positions for the medical team, physical therapist, dietitian and other care professionals that are needed for optimal support and of a smartphone app for patients. The application has a broad spectrum of integrated tools, such as tests, measurements and patients’ feedbacks to make optimally personalized programs. All programs can be tailored to the specific treatment stage and patient context. Every program can be tracked in detail by selecting report options.

PLUSIMPLE
Country: Italy

Plusimple is the web and mobile platform aimed to connect patients and health stakeholders to engage and improve communication. Plusimple connects the entire healthcare ecosystem on a single clinical network, empowering providers, patients, patient’s associations and health facilities to engage and communicate seamlessly and securely. Healthcare’s patients experience is broken. Patients want to choose for options and value a convenient, complete and frictionless interaction. Furthermore, bad and fragmented communication in Healthcare is the first cost, generating bad outcomes and losses of data and furthers costs.

ROSE: Rising the Oncology patients Survival among European countries
Country: Bulgaria

A software uniting patients, doctors and researchers in a common online platform. Patients, included in a breast cancer biobank, will have a profile, containing their oncological history data, and their treatment diary, containing treatment and follow up schedules and personalized information for dietary and activity regimes. Doctors will control the data content, and can evaluate the patient’s activities, filled in the diary. Researchers will have access to anonymous information, regarding the available samples and related clinical data. The establishment of this platform will improve patient’s compliance to treatment, awareness and communication with the doctors and long-term outcomes.

NEMO – Training and Cancer
Country: Italy

NEMO is a no profit association firstly aimed to improve breast cancer women’s quality of life by using physical exercise, that is known to reduce cancer symptoms and side effects of therapies as well as improve their effectiveness and increase survivorship. However, adapted exercise for breast cancer is not completely accessible yet for several reasons. The objective is to achieve our aim by offering accessible outdoor exercise training for breast cancer women led by specialized exercise cancer trainers and organizing courses specifically focused on physical activity for breast cancer in order to increase the number of Italian specialized cancer trainers.
