Scaling Exercise in Cancer Care: Digital Innovation and Implementation in Practice
This session will bring together leading expertise in exercise oncology and implementation science. Dr David Mizrahi will present on Digital Pathways to Exercise in Oncology: Opportunities and Challenges, highlighting how digital innovations are transforming access to exercise interventions for people living with and beyond cancer, while addressing the opportunities and barriers to implementation at scale. Dr Mary Kennedy will then present on Closing the Gap for Hard-to-Reach Populations, focusing on the system-level strategies required to ensure equitable access to exercise in cancer care, and how implementation science can be leveraged to embed exercise into routine oncology practice across diverse populations.
