The Step into Support for Endurance and Strength (SISTERS) research study is evaluating whether a mobile health game designed to increase physical activity is feasible and acceptable in patients with gynecologic cancers.
-SISTERS is testing a mobile health intervention can help increase physical activity. Participants will be randomized to receive either 1) a Fitbit or 2) a Fitbit + a game + help from a friend or family member whom you chose will help the participant reach their goals. (i.e. a Teammate).
This study is a two-arm randomized controlled pilot study designed to test the feasibility and acceptability of using a wearable accelerometer (Fitbit) vs. a wearable accelerometer (FItbit) + a game designed to help participants increase physical activity + social support improves participants' average daily step counts.
Eligible Participants will be randomly assigned into 1 of 2 groups
The study interventions involved in this research are:
It is expected that about 50 people will take part in this research study.
