The development of the EU Mobile App for Cancer Prevention is one of Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan’s flagships initiatives to tackle the entire cancer disease pathway.

BUMPER aims at interfacing with the action that will design and programme the EU Mobile App itself and provide guidance on the content and focus of the App, contributing to ensuring its scientific validity.

The project will mainstream in all tasks and activities an evidence-based approach for addressing health literacy by engaging with a variety of end-users to understand potential barriers and facilitating factors for using digital health tools such as the App, and providing direct training to future promoters of the App.

• Increased knowledge of App users on cancer prevention and cancer risk factors; and adherence to preventative measures as endorsed by the ECAC.
• Development of a comprehensive dissemination strategy to support the widespread promotion of the App.
• Enhancement of cancer leagues’ skills and capabilities to promote and apply the App.

This action is implemented by a carefully constructed consortium with long experience as promoters of the European Code Against Cancer (ECAC), in health promotion and addressing health literacy amongst diverse groups.
