Self-management in palliative care
Individuals with advanced cancer are living longer given the recent improvement in treatment. As a result, there is an increased need for longitudinal support for symptom management for this population. However, there is a shortage of palliative care specialists, particularly in rural areas.
This project aims to create a conversational agent to support individuals living with advanced cancer. We are using generative AI under the supervision of clinical experts to provide interventions focusing on personalized self-management support in palliative care.
