Intravesical Treatment of Bladder Cancer at Home, Multi-modal Treatment Support

The proposed project will have two separate cohorts. The first will be to perform a more in-depth qualitative assessment of the barriers and facilitators for treatment compliance for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. The second arm will be to create and test a BCG at home program. Participants in the second cohort will be enrolled in a conversational agent to measure patient symptoms and quality of life and improve self-efficacy.
