Project Description

Summary:  View help for Summary
The purpose of this pilot study is to test a previously developed mobile health system in a new population, cancer survivors, with the goal of refining the program and setting the stage for a larger future trial. We would like to test the feasibility of using a wrist-based wearable (Fitbit) and smartphone application dyad with survivors, including seeking feedback on survey data collection and message prompts delivered in the application. We will also seek feedback from our clinical partners to understand implementation of referrals to a digital health program and perceptions on accessing patient-generated health data from these programs.
The overall aims of this study are to: 
1) Test the feasibility of deploying a wrist-based wearable device (Fitbit) and smartphone application dyad to cancer survivors aged 18 years of age or older.
2) Obtain qualitative feedback on the program acceptability, including mobile questionnaires and message content used for push notifications sent within MyDataHelps.  
3) Obtain qualitative feedback from Cancer Center providers and clinic staff on implementing referrals to digital health programs and attitudes/preferences toward receiving and accessing patient-generated health data.
