VCCC Alliance Grand Round Breast Cancer with Dr Camille Short

Join behavioural scientist and Senior Research Fellow, Dr Camille Short, for an overview of her innovative intervention studies focused on supporting breast cancer patients to adopt and maintain regular exercise.

Dr Shorts research aims to disseminate innovative health intervention and behaviour change technologies that can help bridge the gap between what is available in clinic and what is available at home. 

Digital health interventions delivered via apps, websites and wearable sensors have the potential to improve the scale and scope of exercise oncology services in Australia. However, innovative research is needed to embed tailored exercise prescription and supervision options into digital models of care, and to encourage sustained participation in the prescribed exercises. This will require multi-disciplinary input, drawing on evidence and theory from both exercise and behavioural science and the lived experience of cancer survivors.

Aim: To provide an overview of her innovative intervention studies focused on supporting breast cancer patients to adopt and maintain regular exercise.

Learning Objective: To be aware of innovative health intervention and behaviour change technologies that can help breast cancer patients to adopt and maintain regular exercise.

The VCCC Alliance Breast Cancer Grand Round is targeted at a clinical audience and features open discussion about real cases and patients. While these cases are de-identified, the imagery, content and discussion can be graphic. It is not appropriate for consumer participants.
