NCT ID NCT04765241
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a mobile health program can help adolescents and young adults (ages 15-39) who finished cancer treatment become more physically active. Participants get a personalized activity plan, a fitness tracker, access to an online survivor community, and motivational texts and calls. The goal is to see if these tools increase weekly exercise and improve sleep and quality of life over one year, with a final check at two years.
