🌟 Help shape life after testicular cancer TRANSCEND-XR is hosting World Café sessions - small, interactive online conversations where survivors and loved ones can share what life after treatment feels like. Your insights will help shape a new XR educational intervention for survivorship. 💬

Led by Professor in Nursing at University College Cork, Mohamad Saab, WP8 brings together partners from 12 countries and 15 disciplines, including clinicians, statisticians, XR developers, patient advocates, and implementation scientists.

Joana Soares, FundtoInnovate Limited, is leading the WP7 with support from Michal Kubo, Association of European Cancer Leagues (ECL), where they are working together on TRANSCEND-XR dissemination, exploitation, and policy, turning innovation into action.

💬 “TRANSCEND-XR is a possibility of changing people’s lives.” Paulo Alves, Senior Researcher, Universidade Católica Portuguesa. Paulo leads Work Package 6 - exploring the ethical, sociocultural, and policy implications of using extended reality (XR) in healthcare.

💡“We’ve seen the clinical need. We recognise there’s a population with unmet needs, and this project has the potential not only to identify them but also to enable patients to address them — and for us, as healthcare professionals, to support them.” Professor Joanne Reid, Queen’s University Belfast

💡 “Maybe the intervention is amazing, but if the costs are too high, then how can we ever implement it?” – Justine Fleur van der Feen, Research Consultant, PredictBy. 🎥 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐬, 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞.
