Interventions

OTHER

mobile application with breathing instructions and a sensor to attach around the chest. To be able to train at home before radiotherapy with DIBH starts.

The DIBH-App consists of 1) a mobile application that patients download to their own smart mobile phone, and 2) associated stretch-sensors that are attached around the chest and connected to the mobile phone via Bluetooth. Visually, the graphics is similar to the software used for DIBH in the RT department. Coaching takes place through instructional videos, text, and audio recordings (Image 2). The following information will be recorded and stored: date and time of practice, outcome of each session (including sensor data and calibration parameters), and user behavior within the application (such as screen visits, FAQ sections viewed, and key button presses).
