Tracking Physical Activity Throughout Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer

Completed

Conditions studied: Breast Cancer, Physical Activity

In brief

Physical activity during chemotherapy has been shown to increase patient health and wellbeing as well as improve outcomes in breast cancer patients. The primary aim of this project is to determine the feasibility of incorporating wearable sensors into clinical care by having breast cancer patients, undergoing chemotherapy, wear a commercially available monitor (Fitbit) that tracks physical activity, sleep, and heart rate monitor.
