The purpose of this study is to assess the best time to deliver a message to increase physical activity and how often participants will experience a pain episode in the 24 hours following their receipt of a message to increase physical activity.

Fluent in spoken and written English.
Patient has access to smartphone
Patient has metastatic disease.

Physical Activity Promotion Intervention
BehavioralThis physical activity promotion intervention is a micro-randomized trial designed to determine the most effective time to send a message to promote physical activity among cancer survivors who experience chronic pain symptoms.
ActiGraph accelerometer measured physical activity behaviors (sedentary, light, moderate, vigorous intensity).
Physical activity will be measured using an ActiGraph accelerometer. Data will be aggregated into physical activity estimations (sedentary, light, moderate, vigorous, steps, etc.) using standard methods. Outcome of interest will be probability older cancer survivors are physically active in the 30 minutes following the receipt of a messaging prompt to promote physical activity.
11-point box scale to assess pain on a scale of 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain).
Pain state will be assessed by response to the pain rating measured by the 11-Point Box Scale in the study app. Participants will receive a smart phone prompt to rate their pain 4 times per day. Outcome of interest will be probability older cancer survivors experience a pain episode in the 24 hours following the receipt of a messaging prompt to increase physical activity.
