First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether a mobile app designed for cancer survivors can help them exercise more after finishing treatment. 132 breast cancer survivors used either the app or received standard exercise guidelines for 12 weeks. The goal was to see if the app increased exercise, reduced fatigue, and improved physical function.
