SABCS 2024

Breast Cancer

Daniela Stan, MD, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, discusses the challenges and future of a digital tool aimed at promoting physical activity among patients. While daily reminders were effective in encouraging activity, they were perceived as bothersome due to the app’s limited accessibility via a multi-step patient portal. To address this, reminders have been reduced to once weekly, balancing user convenience with adherence concerns. Additional plans include enhancing the tool’s user-friendliness to support sustained patient engagement and activity. This interview took place at the 2024 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS) congress in San Antonio, TX.
