Monitoring Energy Balance in Breast Cancer Survivors Using a Mobile App: Reliability Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The majority of breast cancer survivors do not meet recommendations in terms of diet and physical activity. To address this problem, we developed a mobile health (mHealth) app for assessing and monitoring healthy lifestyles in breast cancer survivors, called the Energy Balance on Cancer (BENECA) mHealth system.
