Participants will be provided with a Fitbit. Self-reported physical activity, location, vital sign and sleep stage information will be collected and monitored every day for up to eight (8) weeks. Data will be synced to the My Wellness Research Software Platform, resulting in a weekly text or phone call check-in, based on participants preference.
The nutrition course will follow a combined asynchronous and synchronous approach. The asynchronous component will consist of a pre-recorded session covering educational nutrition content, which will be made available to participants for self-paced learning. This will be followed by a synchronous, 30-60 minute live group education class on nutrition information for cancer survivors, held once per week.
