Summary
This trial tests a supportive care program called E-MOTE, delivered by an AI-assisted robot during hospital stays and a mobile app after discharge, for women newly diagnosed with gynecologic cancer who are undergoing surgery. The program includes emotional assessments, empathetic conversations, and relaxation training, aiming to reduce psychological distress and depression while improving quality of life. Researchers will measure distress, depression, physical symptoms, stress, and quality of life in 120 participants to see if this technology-based approach offers meaningful emotional support during a challenging time.
