Digital Therapeutic (Mika) Targeting Distress in Patients With Cancer: Results From a Nationwide Waitlist Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Distress is highly prevalent among patients with cancer, but supportive care needs often go unmet. Digital therapeutics hold the potential to overcome barriers in cancer care and improve health outcomes.

Objective: This study conducted a randomized controlled trial to investigate the efficacy of Mika, an app-based digital therapeutic designed to reduce distress across the cancer trajectory.

Digital therapeutic to improve cancer-related well-being: a pilot randomized controlled trial.

Objective: This randomized waitlist controlled pilot study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of Mika, an app-based digital therapeutic intervention hypothesized to improve management and the support of cancer patients.

Methods: Patients with gynecological malignancies undergoing post-operative or routine outpatient chemotherapy were randomized (5:2) into intervention (Mika plus treatment-as-usual) and control (treatment-as-usual alone). Feasibility outcomes including dropout rate, reasons for dropout, and intervention adherence, as well as efficacy outcomes including depression, fatigue, and health literacy were assessed at baseline, 4, 8, and 12 weeks.

Marine Spatial Planning in the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem.

The Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem (BCLME) in the south-east Atlantic covers the territorial waters and Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ's) of Angola and Namibia and partly of South Africa. Increasing demands, user-user and user-environment conflicts occur throughout the area. The three countries, which are parties to the Benguela Current Convention (BCC), have begun to implement Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) to support the sustainable development of the area and enhance ocean governance.

Namibia's way to Marine Spatial Planning - Using existing practices or instigating its own approach?

The territorial waters and EEZ of Namibia are part of the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem in the South-East Atlantic. Growing demands and conflicts emerge although the area is not as intensely used as marine areas elsewhere. Namibia has chosen Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) as an integrated approach to facilitate sustainable ocean development and improved ocean governance.
