About this trial

The goal of this study is to learn about the impact of an integrated medication monitoring system in breast cancer survivors aged 21-70 who are prescribed endocrine therapy. The main question it aims to address is: Does the integrated medication monitoring system improve medication adherence among breast cancer survivors when used over a six-month period?

Fifteen English-speaking breast cancer survivors who meet the inclusion criteria will use a combination of smartphone-based ecological momentary assessments, a medication event monitoring system (Wisepill), and a wearable sensor (Fitbit). After 2 months, participants will be provided personalized content to facilitate medication adherence through an app (Digital Trails) and through WisePill. Participants will complete online surveys at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months to assess their experiences and adherence.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • integrated medication monitoring (MM) system

    Device

    We have created a new integrated medication monitoring (MM) system consisting of baseline, 3-month, and 6-month surveys, smartphone-based ecological momentary assessment via an application installed on a smartphone (Digital Trails based on the UVA Sensus app), a wireless medication event monitoring system device (MEMS; Wisepill), and a wearable sensor (Fitbit), and data collected passively from smartphone sensors using the Digital Trails app. These sources of information will be used to understand predictors of medication taking behaviors and, after two months of monitoring, to deploy appropriate interventions which will be delivered via the Digital Trails app platform.
