Abstract

Women with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) face serious physiological and psychosocial challenges. The management of this chronic, incurable condition requires long-term care coordination. Traditional clinical methods do not often provide adequate and personalized support for these individuals. In this project, we aim to use smart speakers to provide supportive care interventions to improve the quality of life for women with MBC. Specifically, we have developed Nurse AMIE (Addressing Metastatic Individuals Everyday) by leveraging the Amazon Alexa to remotely deliver validated interventions. We believe that voice interactions can significantly lower the barrier to interact with remote intervention technologies for this population. In a pilot study, we deployed Nurse AMIE for 14 days over 6 women with MBC. Based on the collected data, this paper discusses the feasibility, acceptability, and future directions of Nurse AMIE. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to use smart speakers to support women with MBC.

护士AMIE:使用智能扬声器为转移性乳腺癌妇女提供支持性护理干预

女性转移性乳腺癌(MBC)面临着严重的生理和心理挑战。这种慢性、不治之症的管理需要长期护理协调。传统的临床方法往往不能为这些个体提供充分和个性化的支持。在这个项目中，我们的目标是使用智能扬声器提供支持性护理干预，以改善患有MBC的妇女的生活质量。具体来说，我们通过利用亚马逊Alexa远程提供有效的干预措施，开发了护士AMIE(每天解决转移性个体)。我们相信语音交互可以显著降低这一人群与远程干预技术交互的障碍。在一项初步研究中，我们在6名患有MBC的妇女身上部署了AMIE护士14天。根据收集到的数据，本文探讨了护士AMIE的可行性、可接受性和未来发展方向。据我们所知，这是第一个使用智能扬声器来支持女性MBC的研究。
