From Screen to Strength: Integrating Digital Exercise Guides into Cancer Care with Dr. Jordan Curry


Listen Later

Exercise oncology is reshaping cancer care—proving that movement is not only safe for people with cancer but can also boost treatment outcomes, ease side effects, and enhance quality of life. As digital health grows as a tool for delivering care, eHealth offers a promising way to make exercise guidance more accessible—but how does it fit into cancer treatment?


In this episode of the NESI Podcast, Emma speaks with Dr. Jordan Curry, a research associate at Hull York Medical School and Lead Communications Officer for the Cancer Prevention and Management Special Interest Group. Jordan’s research explores how exercise—and increasingly, digital technology—can support people living with and beyond cancer.


We dive into his work on two major projects, ExerciseGuide UK and CANFit, which provide tailored, evidence-based exercise programs through digital platforms. Jordan shares how these tools can help patients stay strong, manage treatment side effects, and recover more effectively.


Tune in to hear about:

• How patients and the public are shaping exercise oncology research

• The practical challenges of delivering eHealth interventions in real-world care

• What recent studies reveal about the feasibility and acceptability of digital exercise guides


Whether you’re a healthcare professional, researcher, patient, or simply curious about the future of cancer care, this episode offers an inspiring look at how movement and technology can work hand in hand to improve lives.
