Abstract
As cancer survival rates increase, the challenge of ensuring that cancer survivors reclaim their quality of life (QoL) becomes more important. This paper outlines the research element of a research and training program that is designed to
do just that.
Objective: Bridging sectors, disciplines, and geographies, it brings together eight PhD projects and students from across Europe
to identify the underlying barriers, test different technology-enabled rehabilitative approaches, propose a model to optimize the
patient pathways, and examine the business models that might underpin a sustainable approach to cancer survivor reintegration
using technology.
Methods: The program, funded under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under the Marie
Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No 722012, includes deep disciplinary PhD projects, intersectoral and international secondments,
interdisciplinary plenary training schools, and virtual subject-specific education modules.
Results: The 8 students have now been recruited and are at the early stages of their projects.
Conclusions: CATCH will provide a comprehensive training and research program by embracing all key elements—technical,
social, and economic sciences—required to produce researchers and project outcomes that are capable of meeting existing and
future needs in cancer rehabilitation.
