In WP5- Mixed-Method Process Evaluation (Leads Professor Joanne Reid and Dr Sheena Mc Hugh), the focus is on understanding how the trial is running, how it has worked, and what can be refined to optimise the intervention for all clinical settings, and to ensure its transferability across countries.

💡“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

That’s where @ucc.ie and PredictBy team come in. Their role is to analyse attributes like

We will also evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the intervention to help decision-makers allocate resources more efficiently and effectively

In WP4 Health Economic Evaluation (Lead Dr Aileen Murphy & Dr Ann Kirby; Co-Lead Justine Fleur ), the focus is on ensuring that whatever intervention we co-create with patients & care partners is not only effective, but also cost-effective, feasible and scalable across healthcare systems in Europe.

💡 “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.

From tech demos and VR headset trials to brainstorming sessions, partner presentations, a UCC campus tour, and of course great conversation over Cork’s finest coffee and a brilliant group dinner at Isaac’s - this event marked the beginning of something truly collaborative.

youtu.be/EVz8FjZyYRM?...

Last week, we welcomed 15 partner organisations from 12 countries to University College Cork for our official kick-off event. It was an incredible two days of collaboration, creativity, and shared purpose - and we're so proud to share this behind-the-scenes overview of how it began.

What if extended reality could become a lifeline for young cancer survivors?

That’s the mission behind TRANSCEND‑XR - a Horizon Europe–funded project aiming to co-create a powerful digital platform for adolescents and young adults recovering from testicular cancer.

🌍 Across Europe, 15 partners are working together to transform cancer survivorship

TRANSCEND-XR brings together experts in clinical care, research, XR and advocacy — united to support young testicular cancer survivors.

#HorizonEU #DigitalHealth #TRANSCEND-XR

Hello Bluesky!
