Brief summary
Local intervention trial for the evaluation of improvements in patient-reported Quality of Life and treatment satisfaction, in breast cancer patients (BCP), as a result of flexible treatment planning supported by REBECCA-collected real-world data, in comparison with standard care
Detailed description
Local intervention trial which will evaluate the potential of using real-world patient measurements collected by the REBECCA system for improving the patient-reported quality-of-life, through just-in-time support consultations, during the first 12 months after radiology and/or chemotherapy treatment. The effects of the REBECCA-assisted treatment on QoL, in relation to baseline, will be compared against standard The use of REBECCA-collected patient information by BCP-supervising health professionals (based on the continuous REBECCA real-world measurements), aims to estimate to which extent it: \- Improves the quality of the provided treatment at 12 months, resulting in an improved QoL, in comparison with standard treatment practice It will also evaluate that: * The observed improvements will persist long-term, at least till the point of the 18-month follow-up evaluation * The observed QoL improvements will be associated with REBECCA's Functional Life Index improvements, as evaluated through the continuous REBECCA real world measurements. This will act as an assessment of the RWD use for safer and more effective post-treatment management of interventions with first line chemo/radiotherapies in breast cancer. * The observed QoL improvements will be associated with REBECCA's PROM Index improvements, as evaluated through the continuous REBECCA real world measurements.
Interventions
DEVICEREBECCA system (smartwatch + mobile app use)
Patients will be trained in the use of the REBECCA system, which will provide in-depth information about their lifestyle (including physical activity levels, dietary habits, sleep quality and social mobility), as well as of their online behaviour (with outcome indicators of anxiety, PTSD and depression development) and self- or companion-reported measures of emotional state and quality of life. Based on the additional information, exploiting the enhanced monitoring capabilities of the REBECCA system, the supervising clinicians will be given the opportunity to continuously evaluate the progress of the patients, allowing them to schedule up to 3 phone-based consultation sessions in the first 12 months of treatment

Intervention model description
Control arm: Patients will be treated as usual after the first-line breast cancer treatment. Specifically, this process entails biannual medical evaluation control visits for the first port-treatment year at the Oncology Department, including standardised blood examinations. Experimental arm: Additionally, patients will be trained in the use of the REBECCA mobile and online monitoring platform, which will be used longitudinally, with the collection of real-world data within the REBECCA framework. Their supervising health personnel will be given access to the REBECCA patient dashboard, which provides in-depth information about their lifestyle, as well as continuous REBECCA measurements for their online behaviour and self- or companion-reported measures of emotional state and quality of life.
