Fitbit and cooking classes: new study aims to boost health in cancer survivors
NCT ID NCT06534918
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether giving breast, prostate, or colorectal cancer survivors a personal referral to a tailored nutrition and exercise program helps them eat better and move more. Participants will use a Fitbit to track activity and sleep, and attend group nutrition sessions. The goal is to see if survivors find the program useful and stick with it.
