A research project funded by the National Cancer Institute to study the relationship between daily step counts measured by wearable devices and health outcomes in early breast cancer survivors, including patient-reported outcomes and recurrence-free survival.
Description
This project aims to develop, validate, and apply daily step count metrics from Fitbit and Actigraph devices, and evaluate their relationship with patient-reported outcomes and recurrence-free survival in early breast cancer survivors. The study leverages wearable technology to improve understanding of physical activity's role in breast cancer outcomes and aims to establish an independent research program in digital health for cancer control.
