Hello,

my name is Antonio and I'm a graduate in health and physical activity (University of Rome Foro Italico).

I and my group are looking for:

  • medical doctor (oncologist) as advised, or
  • medical center as partner, or
  • University as partner, or
  • Research center as partner

... of a project called Ne.Mo. which consists in a mobile app (with an integrated AI system) aimed to improve cognitive functioning of breast cancer patients, and contrast the cancer-related cognitive impairment (also known as chemobrain), by using personalized physical exercise program.

Currently, all the main world organizations related to cancer reccomand physical exercise as part of the oncologic therapy. However, in several Countries, like Italy, exists a gap between science and practice. Indeed, at least in Italy, medical doctors know that exercise is a powerful tool to improve the therapeutic effects and the general condition of a cancer patient. But, on one hand, they don't have a exercise science background to prescribe it and, on the other hand, there are very few specialized center in which is possible to find some cancer exercise personal trainer expert.

Our team is composed by 13 master and PhD students in different fields, such as psychology, exercise science, computer engineer, law, economy, medicine, neuroscience, marketing, data analysis, and so on.

We are part of a program called "Dock3 Training" (http://www.dock3.it/dock3training/) which is a business training course organized by the University of Roma Tre. In less than 2 months we have to present our idea to ask some funds to lunch our social startup. However, we want to go beyond this training course because we believe that this app could really help people with cancer and lead them to do physical exercise to improve their quality of life. So, we can create an Italian version of this app and other versions based on your country.

If you are interested in receive more details of our idea, please, contact me by answering to this post, contacting me on RG, or sending me an email ([email protected] // [email protected])

ps: if you want, you can also leave a comment to help us in developing this idea. We will really appreciate it!

Thank you so much for your attention.

Best Regards,

Antonio De Fano,

Ne.Mo. - Neuroscience and Movement
