Using voice-assisant devices for home care after surgery

The purpose of this study is to examine how to deliver a self-care system named AURA, which stands for audio and radio. AURA is a software program that analyzes WiFi signals to detect human movement, classify activities, and listen and respond to participants using an Amazon Echo device. The study's goal is to help cancer patients with newly created ostomies and their caregivers to smoothly transition from hospital care to self-care at home after their treatment.
