Summary
This study tested a physical activity program for breast and endometrial cancer survivors who were not getting enough exercise. Participants started with a Fitbit activity tracker linked to their electronic health record, and those who did not improve were offered extra support like coaching calls or an online gym. The goal was to see if this step-by-step approach could help more women become active in a way that is easy to scale up.
