First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 18, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study explores whether a virtual robot assistant can help Black men recently diagnosed with prostate cancer get the support and information they need. Researchers will ask about 50 participants to use the app and give feedback on how easy and helpful it is. The goal is to see if this approach is acceptable and useful, not to treat the cancer itself.
