Arm/Group Title | Fitness Tracker + Social Incentive Intervention |
---|---|
Arm/Group Description |
Participants will enroll with a teammate (i.e. family or friend) and collaborate together. Teams will set a daily step goal, receive daily feedback on whether they achieved their goal, and receive a social incentive intervention. Fitness Tracker: Fitness trackers (e.g. Fitbit) are accelerometers that are worn on the wrist and tracks users' heart rate continuously in addition to steps, distance, calories, and active minutes Social Incentive (Way to Health): The Way to Health platform is an automated information technology platform that integrates wireless devices, clinical trial randomization and enrollment processes, messaging (text, e-mail or voice), self-administered surveys, automatic transfers of financial incentives, and secure data capture for research purposes. |

Measure Description:
FIGO Stages range from I through IV. Median overall survival is greatest in early stage disease (IC and II) and worse is stage III-IV. Staging is determined using criteria such as the size of the tumor, if the cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes, and if the cancer has spread to distant sites or organs. |

- Single-arm pilot study without a control group
- Participants were recruited from a single academic center, were required to have a smartphone, and needed to be able to identify a teammate. This may have resulted in the selection of a more affluent, educated, and socially-connected population than is representative of ovarian cancer survivors nationwide.
- We did not specifically measure other types of activity not captured by Fitbits (e.g., swimming or biking).
