Official title
Development and Validation of Personalized Digital Healthcare Technology and Service Model for the Management and Recovery of Side Effects of Treatment in Breast Cancer Survivors
Overview
The ultimate goal of this research and development is to develop personalized digital healthcare technologies and self-management strategies based on self-assessment results and evidence, for breast cancer survivors who require management and recovery from acute and chronic side effects related to various treatments (surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, hormone therapy, etc.). Additionally, the aim is to verify the clinical applicability and establish a service model to address the diverse unmet healthcare needs of breast cancer survivors.
Interventions
- Device digital health (application and smartwatch)
The application allows users to conduct self-assessments for managing symptoms and side effects related to treatment. Based on the assessment results, it provides personalized self-management strategies. Additionally, users can access features for exercise, diet, and weight management.
Primary outcome measures
- PROMIS29 [Time frame: Baseline, Month 1, Month 3, Month 6]
Secondary outcome measures (8)
- EQ-5D-5L [Time frame: Baseline, Month 1, Month 3, Month 6]
- PRO-CTCAE [Time frame: Month 1, Month 3, Month 6]
- ICF (International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health) [Time frame: Baseline, Month 1, Month 3, Month 6]
- Activity (step count) [Time frame: Baseline, Month 1, Month 3, Month 6]
- TTM (Transtheoretical Model) [Time frame: Baseline, Month 3, Month 6]
- OBQ-K [Time frame: Baseline, Month 3, Month 6]
- CBI-K [Time frame: Baseline, Month 3, Month 6]
- body composition (inbody) [Time frame: Baseline, Month 1, Month 3, Month 6]
