This research introduces Breamy, a mobile health (mHealth) application that utilizes augmented reality (AR) to assist breast cancer patients in making informed decisions about surgical treatment. The app provides 3D visualizations of different surgical procedures, aiming to improve confidence in surgical decision-making, reduce decisional regret, and enhance patient well-being after surgery. The data collected from 166 participants suggests that Breamy has the potential to reduce patients’ anxiety levels and assist them during the decision-making process.
