Researchers at Newcastle University are developing FatigueSense — a free mobile app designed to help people understand and manage fatigue in everyday life. The team is now exploring how well the app works for people affected by cancer‑related fatigue.

People who take part will be asked to download and use the FatigueSense app as part of their daily routine over several weeks. They will then share their experiences — what works well, what feels difficult, and what they think could be improved.
They are looking for adults living with or beyond cancer who experience fatigue. No technical knowledge is needed, but people will need a smartphone and a compatible smartwatch such as an Apple Watch, Fitbit, Garmin, or similar.
Feedback from people affected by cancer will guide the next stage of development. Their experiences will help the researchers understand whether the app is clear, supportive, and genuinely useful in everyday life.
The team will use people’s suggestions to improve how the app looks, feels, and functions. They will also share back the changes they make, so people can see how their input has influenced the final design.
Interested individuals can register their interest directly through the project website.
