Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) treatment often overlooks sexual health, focusing solely on survival indicators. The Explorar-me kit invites BC patients to reconnect with their sexuality through self-exploration tools and accessible education. Patient-centred design revealed cultural barriers and normalized discomforts, highlighting the need for proactive sexual health education. The kit’s tools, including a vibrator and dilators, would allow patients to explore their sexual wellbeing independently and confidently. This replicable model demonstrates how empathy-driven, collaborative design can address stigmatised health topics and improve patient experiences.
