Overview
This prospective, single-center, randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of an artificial intelligence (AI)-based personalized exercise coaching system in female breast cancer survivors who have completed major cancer treatment and are clinically stable. A total of 100 eligible participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either an AI-based exercise coaching group or a conventional exercise guidance group. Participants in the intervention group will receive personalized exercise recommendations generated by the AI exercise coaching system, with exercise data collected and used for dynamic adjustment of exercise guidance. Participants in the control group will receive conventional exercise recommendations provided by healthcare professionals. The intervention will last for 6 months. Exercise adherence will be evaluated as the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes will include quality of life, psychological status, physical function, exercise-related adverse events, and laboratory and metabolic parameters.
Description
Regular physical activity is recommended for patients with cancer and may improve physical function, psychological well-being, and quality of life. However, conventional exercise guidance may be limited by insufficient personalization, limited professional resources, and difficulties in continuously monitoring exercise behavior.
The AI-based exercise coaching system evaluated in this study is designed to provide personalized exercise recommendations and dynamically adjust exercise guidance based on individual characteristics and exercise data. The system integrates exercise-related knowledge and uses wearable devices to collect exercise data for monitoring and feedback.
This study is a prospective, single-center, open-label, randomized controlled trial conducted among female patients with breast cancer who have completed major cancer treatment and are clinically stable. One hundred eligible participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the AI-based exercise coaching group or the conventional exercise guidance group.
Participants assigned to the AI-based exercise coaching group will follow individualized exercise programs generated by the system and will upload exercise data to enable dynamic guidance and adjustment. Participants assigned to the control group will receive general exercise recommendations from healthcare professionals.
The intervention period will be 6 months. Assessments will be conducted at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. The primary outcome will be exercise adherence. Secondary outcomes will include quality of life, psychological status, physical function, exercise-related safety outcomes, and laboratory and metabolic parameters.
