Using Technology to Improve Physical Activity Levels Among Postmenopausal Women (The Active & Aware Study)

Using Technology to Promote Activity in Women at Elevated Breast Cancer Risk

Women who are overweight or do not exercise are at higher risk for breast cancer after menopause. This study will test a new electronic device that measures the body's movement and works alongside a website to help women increase their physical activity level. If effective, this system could be tested in larger studies aiming to reduce breast cancer risk by reducing or preventing obesity.
