Summary

This study tests a program called Step Up that combines in-person coaching with a mobile app to teach coping skills and encourage physical activity. It includes 177 adults who have had a stem cell transplant or CAR-T therapy for blood cancers like leukemia or multiple myeloma. The goal is to see if the program helps reduce physical disability and improve walking ability.
