About this study

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

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.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • digital health (application and smartwatch)Device

    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.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. PROMIS29

    Full Title: Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Objective: health related quality of life Scoring System: Each item is rated on a scale of 1 to 5. Lower scores indicate better health for pain, depression, anxiety, and fatigue, while higher scores indicate better health for physical function, social roles, and activities, and sleep disorders.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 1, Month 3, Month 6

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. EQ-5D-5L

    Full Title: EuroQol 5-Dimension 5-level Objective: quality of life Scoring System: Each item is evaluated on a 5-point scale and weighted according to the country. EQ VAS evaluates data on a scale of 0-100, with a higher score indicating better health.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 1, Month 3, Month 6

  2. PRO-CTCAE

    Full Title: Patient-Reported Outcomes version of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Objective: Clinical symptoms and adverse effects reported by patients Scoring System: Evaluate the frequency, severity, interference with daily activities, amount, and presence/absence of side effects over the past 7 days.

    Measured: Month 1, Month 3, Month 6

  3. ICF (International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health)

    Full Title: International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health Objective: function, activity and participant, environment

    Scoring System:

    1. Assess the 8 items of body functions, 8 items of activities and participation, and 8 items of environmental factors of the breast cancer ICF core set brief B. Body functions are assessed as 0 (no problems) - 4 (extreme problems), 9 (not applicable). Activities and participation are assessed as 0 (no difficulties) - 4 (extreme difficulties), 9 (not applicable). Environment is assessed as 0 (no barriers) - 4 (extreme barriers), +0 (no facilitating factors) - +4 (complete facilitating factors), 9 (not applicable).

    Measured: Baseline, Month 1, Month 3, Month 6

  4. Activity (step count)

    Objective: Number of steps taken in the past month Scoring System: Number of steps measured by mobile phone

    Measured: Baseline, Month 1, Month 3, Month 6

  5. TTM (Transtheoretical Model)

    Full Title: The Transtheoretical Model staging Objective: behavior change stage

    Scoring System:

    1. Assess health behavior change on a 5-step scale B. (1) Before consideration: No intention to change problem behavior or adopt healthy behavior within the next 6 months, (2) Consideration: No specific plan but plan to take action within the next 6 months, (3) Preparation: Plan to take action within the next 30 days, (4) Action: In progress (less than 6 months), (5) Maintenance: In progress (more than 6 months) C. Check whether the change in the stage has occurred in a positive direction

    Measured: Baseline, Month 3, Month 6

  6. OBQ-K

    Full Title: Occupaitonal Balance Questionnaire Objective: occupational balance Scoring System: 13 items, 0-5 point scale. The score range is 0-65 points, and a higher score indicates greater work balance.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 3, Month 6

  7. CBI-K

    Full Title: Cancer Behavior Inventory version 3.0 - Korea Objective: Measuring self-efficacy for coping behaviors that can be taken during cancer treatment

    Scoring System:

    1. Consists of 7 subscales (27 items): Maintaining activity and independence (4 items), Seeking and understanding medical information (4 items), Managing stress and pain (4 items), Managing side effects (4 items), Accepting cancer/maintaining a positive attitude (4 items), Finding social support (3 items), Using spiritual coping methods (4 items) B. Rating on a 7-point scale. A higher score indicates a higher self-efficacy for overcoming cancer.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 3, Month 6

  8. body composition (inbody)

    Weight: kg BMI(Body mass index): kg/m^2 SMI(Appendicular Skeletal Muscle Mass Index): kg/m^2

    Measured: Baseline, Month 1, Month 3, Month 6
