Summary

This study tests whether a mobile-based rehabilitation program, built on the PERMA-H model of well-being, can improve hope, self-confidence, and social support in people recovering from a tracheostomy due to oral cancer. Participants use a WeChat mini-program with a chatbot and tailored modules. The goal is to see if this digital tool leads to better psychological and functional outcomes compared with standard care.
