This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

Researchers are testing whether an AI-based exercise coaching system helps breast cancer survivors exercise more regularly and improve their quality of life. The trial enrolls 60 women who have finished major cancer treatment and are clinically stable. Half receive personalized exercise recommendations from the AI system, which adjusts guidance based on their exercise data, and half receive standard exercise advice from healthcare professionals. The study measures exercise adherence over six months, along with quality of life, psychological status, physical function, and safety.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
an AI-based personalized exercise coaching system
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a scalable way to help breast cancer survivors stay active and feel better after treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center trial, so results may not apply broadly. The AI system might not outperform standard exercise advice, and some participants may find the technology hard to use.
