Why Meliora?
Female Breast Cancer stands as a significant global health hurdle, making up 11.7% of all cancer cases in 2020, with 2.3 million new cases. Its impact reaches beyond mortality, affecting societal and economic dimensions.
Prevention faces hurdles like awareness gaps, skills deficiencies, and socio-demographic inequities, contributing to avoidable cases. Disparities persist in rural areas and among individuals with lower education levels.
MELIORA, is a collaborative initiative addressing these challenges with innovative solutions. Using digital health technologies and lifestyle interventions, MELIORA aims to bridge existing gaps, offering cost-efficient, effective, and sustainable Breast Cancer prevention programs. The intervention, featuring personalised guidance, feedback, and information materials, will be delivered through healthcare professionals and digital tools, including the MELIORA intelligent Virtual Coach.
