LifeChamps digital care solution integrated and combined different data sources into computational models that provide objective evaluation of QoL in older cancer survivors. Results on correlation analysis between digital and clinical endpoints have been performed, suggesting the clinical utility that digital biomarkers might have in the monitoring of older cancer survivors.
LifeChamps aimed to create a Big Data structure composed of a data framework based on the real-time collection and processing of streaming and batch data. Main functionalities, include support of heterogeneous and multimodal data streams, handling batch/offline data loading and performance of real-time analytics and pre-processing.
LifeChamps also delivers intelligent tools for frailty monitoring and condition self-management through the mobile application, offering personalized support to patients, while continually collecting PROMs and monitoring health-related information. Simultaneously, the LifeChamps Dashboard provides healthcare professionals with a way to monitor patient progress, enabling qualitative and quantitative assessments of patients' well-being over time.
Data collection and feasibility pilots ran in Greece, Spain, Sweden and the UK, involving 148 cancer survivors after initial treatment using LifeChamps for a period of 3 months and 36 healthcare professionals. The data collection pilot ran in Greece and Sweden, with 27 patients, while the feasibility study ran in all sites with 121 cancer survivors. Overall, the study demonstrated strong participant engagement with 6.6% dropout rate and high satisfaction, acceptance and good usability. Also, the study data was used to validate the predictive models for frailty and psychological symptoms.
In terms of scientific dissemination and exploitation, LifeChamps had 15 announcements in international conferences and 12 publications in peer-reviewed journals, 9 marketable components, 22 Key Exploitable Results and 1 patent filed. Finally, LifeChamps has been recognised by the Digital Health Uptake as a best practice in the context of frailty management.
