Study Overview
Brief Summary
This study aims to investigate the role of a mobile health app, Outcomes4Me, in the navigation of care for people with breast cancer.
Detailed Description
This protocol is a single arm pilot study of a novel breast cancer navigation app that is intended to assist patients with breast cancer understand their diagnosis and treatment options (both as part of standard of care practice and clinical trials) and manage their care, through treatment and symptom tracking. Patients will also be able to share information and get news via the app relevant to their cancer subtype. Results from this intervention will inform future clinical integration efforts, improve patient-centeredness of such an app-based health content and data platform, and inform the design of a larger, randomized study to demonstrate an improvement in patients' outcomes as well as enhanced Real-World Evidence (RWE) data collection.

Arms & Interventions
Outcomes4Me App Users
This cohort will download and use the Outcomes4Me mobile app for breast cancer.
Intervention: Outcomes4Me Mobile App (Device)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Measure # of times a patient logs into the Outcomes4Me app over a 12 week period
Time Frame: 12 Weeks
We will track engagement with the app by tracking the number of times a user logs in to the Outcomes4Me app over a 12 week period. The app will be considered feasible if at least 40% of enrolled patients engage with the Outcomes4Me app at least 3 times during the 12-week study period.
Secondary Outcomes
- Measure System-Usability Score (SUS) of app usage(12 weeks)
- Measure Net-Promoter Score (NPS) of app usage(12 weeks)
