ObjectiveSelf‐management interventions may enhance health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) in epilepsy. However, several barriers often impair their implementation in the real world. Digital interventions may help to overcome some of these barriers. Considering this, the Helpilepsy Plus Prototype was developed as a prototype smartphone‐delivered self‐care treatment program for adults with epilepsy.MethodsThe 12‐week Helpilepsy Plus Prototype was evaluated through a randomized controlled feasibility trial with a waiting‐list control (WLC) group. Outcome measurement at baseline and at 12 weeks assessed adherence to the prototype intervention and changes in epilepsy‐related outcomes. The primary endpoint was patient autonomy measured with EASE, and secondary endpoints included HRQoL measured with QOLIE‐31, health literacy measured with HLQ, anxiety, and depression symptoms measured with HADS. Semi‐structured interviews were conducted with a heterogeneous sample of participants to assess user‐friendliness and usefulness. The prototype program was delivered through the Neuroventis Platform (Neuroventis, BV, Overijse, Belgium), a certified medical device (under EU/MDD Class I, and EU/MDR grace period).ResultsNinety‐two patients were included (46 in the intervention group, 46 in WLC). Most participants (63%, 58/92 women, median age 30 years) had pharmacoresistant epilepsy (61%, 56/92). Only 22% of participants (10/46) in the intervention group completed at least half of all intervention sessions. No significant differences between the intervention group and WLC were observed. Although there was a larger proportion of patients in the intervention group with meaningful improvements in HRQoL compared to WLC (19/46 versus 11/46), the difference was not significant (p = 0.119). Qualitative feedback showed that participants would appreciate more personalization, such as adaptation of the content to their current epilepsy knowledge level, a more interactive interface, shorter text sections, and interaction through reminders and notifications.SignificanceDigital interventions should allow sufficient scope for personalization and interaction to increase patient engagement and enable benefits from self‐care apps. Feedback loops allow the participatory development of tailored interventions.Plain Language SummaryIn this study, we investigated the effectiveness of an app‐based self‐help intervention. Study participants were either randomly assigned to a group that had access to the app or a group that received access to the app after the end of the study. Although a larger proportion of participants in the intervention group showed a relevant improvement in quality of life, the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant. Less than one‐fifth of participants in the intervention group attended at least half of all intervention sessions; patient feedback showed that patients required more personalization and interactive options.

Interventions for obesity-related cancers that combine nutrition and physical activity for weight loss exist; however, their application to survivors of endometrial cancer is unknown. Furthermore, little is known about pre-implementation perceptions of existing programs from a variety of interested persons (physicians, researchers) who may be part of the implementation team. Adapting an existing intervention rather than developing a new intervention may speed the translational lag time as long as intervention characteristics and fit within the delivery system are considered during the planning phase. To describe the process of determining the core elements of obesity-related interventions for cancer survivors and determine which one might be best delivered by an urban healthcare system that predominantly serves individuals who live in rural areas of Virginia and West Virginia. A pragmatic review of the literature was conducted via PubMed and Google Scholar with broad search terms of cancer survivor AND weight loss AND health intervention. Identified interventions were scored related to the Practical, Robust Implementation and Sustainability Model—which is an extension of RE-AIM framework to guide the understanding of who, what, where, when, and how the intervention was conducted. Intervention characteristics are reported. In addition, ratings from three independent reviewers on the validated 5-point Likert scale of an intervention’s acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility in the intended delivery system were collected and summarized. Twelve interventions were identified with an average sample size of 241(±195) and a range of 48–683 participants. Target populations included survivors of colorectal, breast, and endometrial cancers as well as general cancer survivors and included both men and women or only women. Most participants (74%) identified as white/Caucasian and average age ranged from 47.1 to 65.9 years. Program duration ranged from 4 weeks to 18 months, with an average duration of 32 weeks. Intervention dosage ranged from three times a week to once a month. Intervention acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility had average and standard deviation ratings of 3.52(±0.46), 3.41(±0.45), and 3.21(±0.46), respectively, out of 5. The four interventions with the highest combined acceptable, appropriate, and feasible scores are being considered for potential use as an obesity-related intervention for survivors of endometrial cancer. Future work is needed to determine relevant adaptations and efficacy among survivors of endometrial cancer with obesity. Our approach may be beneficial for other interventionists aiming to speed intervention development and implementation.
