Key highlights:
- Co – designed with parents to ensure relevance and usability.
- Added exercises on parent – child conversations and identity after cancer.
- Broadened inclusion criteria to support families earlier in survivorship.
- Usability trial showed strong connectedness, satisfaction, and readiness for future testing.
