New Gantry Beam Optics Solution for Minimising Treatment Time in Cyclotron-based Proton Therapy Facilities
(2021)Treatment delivery time in proton therapy depends on beam-on time and the time required to change energy layers and/or lateral position. For cyclotron-based facilities, low energy beams (100-70 MeV) are inefficiently transported through beamlines due to their large emittance after the degrader (~400 pi*mm*mrad 2-sigma emittance), whereas the beamline and Gantry can only transport small emittances (e.g. 30 pi*mm*mrad for PSI Gantry 2) ...Conference Poster -

Human attributes in conversational agents: A field study with an app-based lifestyle intervention
(2021)Background: eHealth is helpful in improving people’s lifestyle. Although automated self-help interventions are easier to implement, adherence is often higher in human-supported ones. This could be due to a lack of human attributes and low working alliance associated with automated self-help interventions. We therefore investigated whether adding visual and relational human cues to a conversational agent increases working alliance, and ...Conference Poster -
Less carrot more stick: investigating deposit contract financial incentives for physical activity behavior change in a smartphone application
(2021)Background: Deposit contracts, a form of financial incentives in which participants deposit their own money, are an inexpensive intervention with possibly beneficial effects on behavior by utilizing the power of loss aversion. However, uptake might be limited and literature suggests that merely framing an incentive as a loss is more effective than framing it as a gain. This study investigated whether (1) deposit contracts have lower uptake ...Conference Poster -
Development of a mindfulness and relaxation app and evaluation of the effectiveness on cancer patients’ distress: a randomized controlled multicenter stud
(2021)Background: Mind-body interventions have the potential to reduce cancer patients’ distress during initial care and rehabilitation, but access to face-to-face interventions is often limited due to entry barriers such as geographical distance, time, financial constraints, or lack of service providers, or due to rules on hygiene and social distancing such as those associated with the recent COVID- 19 pandemic. Mobile applications (apps) can ...Conference Poster
