"Beam for Cancer” - research and development of an innovative online rehabilitation program and clinical package to support patients living with cancer through COVID and beyond

Beam是一个在线运动平台，旨在支持具有特定健康状况的人长期参与运动。我们已经成功地为囊性纤维化（CF）患者、产后妇女和更年期妇女开发了我们的产品。在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间，全球医疗保健服务受到巨大干扰，许多NHS和私人医疗保健从业人员接触了我们，我们正在建立我们的平台，以支持英国各地数千名有健康需求的人参与量身定制的监督锻炼，他们的需求我们的第一个产品将是与世界知名的癌症中心合作，通过我们的平台在英国提供癌症康复服务。社区对每个人都很重要，我们的品牌以专注于这一点而自豪。因此，我们将举办由癌症物理治疗师主持的现场团体课程，每周三次，以在隔离期间提供团体运动课程的好处。我们知道，有时我们无法使类，我们已经计划，或者只是不想在一个组锻炼-我们将有一个银行的专家和验证的点播视频覆盖，以随时访问，并根据需要经常！为了帮助您度过接受癌症治疗的艰难旅程，我们还可以让您通过我们的平台加入公共团体，在那里您可以结识其他经历类似旅程的人。我们认识到，知道做什么运动是艰巨的，每个人的能力或愿望是不同的，我们需要的是我们信任的人帮助我们沿着。因此，我们将开创“诊所支持”，这是任何其他平台都无法提供的。在这个全新的功能中，您自己的肿瘤学团队将能够尽可能经常地为您和您诊所的其他患者提供私人锻炼课程。_诊所支持_将包括多种方式来监测您的健康状况和跟踪活动水平，并将包括访问加密的私人消息系统，让您可以向您的团队寻求有关锻炼和康复的建议，这样您就不会在旅途中感到孤独。我们的目标是在这个困难时期以前所未有的方式为癌症患者带来真实的改变。-------------在最初的项目过程中，我们将推出Beam前列腺癌，为前列腺癌患者提供康复服务和支持。影响力扩展资金将用于改善我们目前的技术平台，使其更具可扩展性，并更好地满足不同NHS信托的NHS治理要求。这将加快我们未来产品的上市时间，以服务于其他肿瘤群体和健康状况，并为更多的NHS信托提供机会。这意味着，在2021年3月31日之前，我们将能够推出Beam Breast Cancer（为乳腺癌患者提供康复服务和支持），作为该项目的一部分。

Beam is an online exercise platform created to support people with specific health conditions to engage with exercise long term. We have successfully built our product for people with cystic fibrosis (CF), postnatal women and women undergoing the menopause.Following the huge disruption to healthcare provision worldwide during the Covid-19 pandemic and having been approached by a number of NHS and private healthcare practitioners, we are building out our platform in order to support thousands more people across the UK with health needs to engage in supervised exercise tailored to their needs. Our first offering will be to work with a world renowned cancer centre to provide cancer rehabilitation across the UK through our platform.Community is important for everyone and our brand prides itself on focussing on this point. We will therefore be running live group classes hosted by a cancer physiotherapist running three times a week to provide the benefits of group exercise classes during this period of isolation. We understand that sometimes we are not able to make classes that we had planned to, or simply do not want to workout in a group - we will have this covered with a bank of specialist and verified on-demand videos to be accessed at any time and as often as required! To help with the difficult journey of undergoing cancer treatment we also have the option for you to join public groups through our platform where you can meet other people going through a similar journey.That's not all though. We recognise that knowing what exercise to do is daunting and everyone's abilities or desires are different and that what we need is someone we trust helping us along the way. Therefore we will be pioneering "clinic support", not available through any other platform. In this brand new feature, your own oncology team will be able to deliver private exercise classes as often as they can to you and fellow patients from your clinic. _Clinic support_ will include a variety of ways to monitor your health and track activity levels and will include access to an encrypted private messaging system allowing you to seek advice from your team about exercise and rehabilitation so you never feel alone in your journey.We aim to make a real difference to people with cancer during this difficult time in a way that has never been achieved before.------------------------During the course of the original project we will launch Beam Prostate Cancer, providing rehabilitation services and support for people with prostate cancer. The Extension for Impact funding will be invested in improving our current technology platform to make it more scalable and to better meet the NHS governance requirements of different NHS Trusts. This will speed up our time to market of future products to serve other tumour groups and health conditions as well as open up opportunities with more NHS Trusts. This will mean that, before 31st March, 2021, we will be able to launch Beam Breast Cancer (rehabilitation services and support for people with breast cancer) as part of this project.
