The platform should offer personalized, evidence-based tools such as AI chatbots, mood tracking, self-help exercises, and peer support, and must integrate with the existing European Cancer Patient Digital Centre. It also funds the development of tools to collect and analyze patient-reported mental health data to help researchers and clinicians better understand and address survivors' needs.
