title = "Towards a Patient-Centered Design of a Cancer Telerehabilitation System",
abstract = "Successful implementation of telehealth platforms requires a detailed understanding of patient's needs, preferences, and attitudes toward a home-based platform. The goal of this study was to identify patient-centered characteristics of a cancer rehabilitation system based on cognitive evaluation of user interface and semi-structured qualitative interviews. Quantitative and qualitative feedback from 29 patients with metastatic urogenital cancer was collected after using a cancer telerehabilitation system. Heuristic evaluation, cognitive walkthrough, and analysis of qualitative interviews demonstrated a high level of support for the concept of home-based cancer telerehabilitation by cancer patients. Post-task surveys demonstrated sufficient usability and satisfaction scores from the participants. The patients provided valuable and insightful comments on how to further improve the functionality and interface of the platform. Further improvement of the system usability, consistency, and accessibility based on the patient-centered design principles will significantly facilitate the implementation of cancer telerehabilitation in clinical practice.",
