Summary

This trial tests whether a nurse-led program combining an AI chatbot and home-based exercises can help advanced gastric cancer patients on immunotherapy feel less frail and have a better quality of life. Participants use the chatbot to report side effects and get personalized advice, and follow a tailored exercise plan for 12 weeks. The study compares this group to those receiving usual care to see if the program reduces frailty, boosts self-confidence, and improves overall well-being.
