Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of collecting ecological momentary assessment data regarding feeling states during physical activity among a cohort of breast cancer survivors, using a novel smartwatch app created by the study team called "PHITbit."

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Feasibility of using a smartwatch-based ecological momentary assessment (EMA) method during exercise measured as the proportion of participants who use the data collection app and provided at least 3 responses to EMAs during a single exercise session.
Time Frame: 10 day data collection period
The number of participants who use the smartwatch data collection app and respond to at least 3 EMAs during a single exercise session at least once during the 10-day data collection period out of the total number of participants enrolled at the end of the10-day data collection period.
Acceptability of collecting during-exercise feeling state data using a smartwatch-based ecological momentary assessment method measured using the System Usability Scale.
Time Frame: End of study follow-up (post 10-day data collection period)
The System Usability Scale (SUS) is a 10-item self-report scale used to measure perceived usability of a system, method, or tool. Responses on the SUS range from 1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree. Higher scores indicate greater acceptability.
Acceptability of collecting during-exercise feeling state data using a smartwatch-based ecological momentary assessment method measured via a semi-structured interview.
Time Frame: End of study follow-up (post 10-day data collection period)
Semi-structured interview to assess participants' perceptions regarding their experience using the smartwatch-based ecological momentary assessment method.
Secondary Outcomes
- Rate of electronic daily dairy completion.(10 day data collection period)
- Rate of phone-based ecological momentary assessment (EMA) prompt completion.(10 day data collection period)
- Proportion of the sample with valid accelerometer data at the end of the 10-day data collection period.(10 day data collection period)
