Trial Title:
ATOMIC Mobile App to Increase Physical Activity (PA) Levels in Survivors of Childhood Cancer
NCT ID:
NCT05792566
Condition:
Pediatric Cancer
Study type:
Interventional
Study phase:
N/A
Overall status:
Recruiting
Study design:
Allocation:
N/A
Intervention model:
Single Group Assignment
Intervention model description:
There are 3 phases of this study:
1. Participants will be shown features from the ATOMIC app and asked to discuss what
features they like and what additional content, features and functionalities they
would want for a specific PA app focused on pediatric cancer survivors. This
information will be used to adapt the app.
2. Use a "talking aloud" approach as they encounter issues with completing a series of
tasks related to using the app. The design team and the research team will develop a
new iteration of the platform that will then be vetted by our app creation committee
and the next interview participants.
3. "Real Life" Usability Testing. 6 pediatric cancer survivors. Individualized aerobic
and resistance exercise intervention. The social-cognitive-theory-based mobile app
will support the exercise intervention. One-on-one messaging chats with a PA coach
through the mobile app will facilitate exercise goal establishment and attainment.

Summary:
Development and Usability Testing of the ATOMIC Mobile App to Increase Physical Activity
(PA) Levels in Children, Adolescent and Young Adults (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer
Detailed description:
The purpose of this program of research is to (1) determine the adaptations required of a
pre-existing mobile fitness app to tailor it for childhood cancer survivors using a
behavioral theory driven approach (Social Cognitive Theory) and (2) develop and evaluate
the usability of the adapted mobile app using the Technology Assessment Model. The
Technology Assessment Model (TAM), which theorizes the individuals' intentions to use
information technology, is based on two driving factors: perceived usefulness and
perceived ease of use. Future studies will evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of
this app.
