An Artificial Intelligence-Powered Supportive Care Chatbot to Address the Supportive Care Needs of Young Adult Cancer Survivors
13 août 2026 mis à jour par: University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center
Feasibility, Usability, and Acceptability of an AI-Powered MASCC Supportive Care Platform Among Young Adults With Cancer
This clinical trial studies whether an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered supportive care chatbot is helpful for addressing the supportive care needs of young adult cancer survivors.
Young adult cancer survivors often experience ongoing and distressing symptoms following treatment, including extreme tiredness and lack of energy, anxiety, and difficulty sleeping.
Young adult cancer survivors report a variety of strategies to self-manage these symptoms; however, there remains a gap in targeted interventions focused on the needs in young adult survivors.
The AI-powered supportive care chatbot is designed to provide evidence-based information on supportive care for young adult cancer survivors.
Users interact with the chatbot by entering free-text questions or selecting from predefined topics to receive tailored educational responses related to supportive care across the cancer continuum, including treatment effects, symptom management, care transitions, and life after cancer.
The AI-powered supportive care chatbot may be an effective way to help address the supportive care needs of young adult cancer survivors.

Armes et Interventions
Groupe de participants / Bras |
Intervention / Traitement |
|---|---|
|
Expérimental: Supportive care (AI-powered supportive care chatbot)
Patients interact with AI-powered supportive care chatbot in a self-directed manner for 4 weeks.
Following the initial 4-week use period, patients choose to either continue to use the chatbot for an additional 8 weeks or conclude study participation.

Que mesure l'étude ?
Principaux critères de jugement
Mesure des résultats |
Description de la mesure |
Délai |
|---|---|---|
|
Acceptability of AI-powered supportive care chatbot
Délai: At end of intervention, assessed up to 12 weeks
|
Acceptability will be supported if mean scores on the Acceptability E-Scale are ≥ 4 (on a 5-point scale).
Will be described (i.e., means, medians, standard deviations, and ranges) at the post-intervention time point.
|
At end of intervention, assessed up to 12 weeks
|
|
Demand of AI-powered supportive care chatbot
Délai: Up to 12 months
|
Demand will be demonstrated by successful recruitment of the target sample (N=30) within 12 months.
|
Up to 12 months
|
|
Implementation of AI-powered supportive care chatbot
Délai: During intervention use, assessed up to 12 weeks
|
Implementation will be assessed by engagement with the chatbot, defined as ≥ 70% of participants reporting at least one use per week during the initial 4-week period, rather than a fixed duration of use, given the self-directed nature of the intervention.
Will be described (i.e., means, medians, standard deviations, and ranges) weekly.
Given the pilot nature of the study, no hypothesis testing or formal comparisons will be conducted.
|
During intervention use, assessed up to 12 weeks
|
|
Retention
Délai: Up to 12 weeks
|
Retention will be considered feasible if ≥ 80% of participants complete 4-week assessments, and ≥ 50% elect to continue to the optional extended use period.
|
Up to 12 weeks
|
|
Usability of AI-powered supportive care chatbot
Délai: At end of intervention, assessed up to 12 weeks
|
Usability will be supported if mean System Usability Scale scores are ≥ 70, indicating acceptable usability.
Will be described (i.e., means, medians, standard deviations, and ranges) at the post-intervention time point.
|
At end of intervention, assessed up to 12 weeks
|
|
Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System measure
Délai: At baseline, 4 weeks, and/or 12 weeks
|
Will be summarized using descriptive statistics (e.g., means, medians, standard deviations, and ranges) at each time point.
Changes over time (baseline, post-intervention, as applicable) will be examined descriptively.
|
At baseline, 4 weeks, and/or 12 weeks
|
|
Digital Health Literacy Scale
Délai: At baseline
|
Will be summarized using descriptive statistics (e.g., means, medians, standard deviations, and ranges) at the baseline time point.
The Digital Health Literacy Scale is a 0 to 12 point score (based on 3 items), with higher scores indicating greater digital health care literacy.
|
At baseline
|
|
Interview themes and subthemes
Délai: At end of intervention, assessed up to 12 weeks
|
The audio-recorded interviews will be transcribed verbatim by a professional transcription company and verified for accuracy by another study team member.
The finalized transcripts will be imported into NVivo 12 (QSR International Pty Ltd).
Inductive content analysis will be used to analyze the interview transcripts.
Two study team members will review the transcripts and the interview guide to create an initial list of codes.
Three transcripts will be independently coded using the initial codebook.
After three interviews are coded, two study team members will meet to resolve any coding discrepancies and to revise the codebook further.
The same process will be repeated after three more interviews are coded.
After the codebook is finalized, one study team member will code the remaining interviews.
Subsequently, the study team will meet as a group to review the transcripts in their entirety, making sense of the data and generating potential major themes and subthemes.
