MELIORA Data Collection Campaigns

Summary

To support the development of the MELIORA digital app for the MELIORA main intervention, an initial pilot study (Data Collection Campaign, DCC) is being conducted with the three target participant groups: healthy women at increased risk of developing breast cancer (BC), BC patients, and BC survivors across the four intervention countries (Spain, Greece, Lithuania, Sweden). The planned sample size for each group is 156 healthy women at risk (defined as not meeting recommendations for a healthy lifestyle), 58 BC patients, and 86 BC survivors. Each participant is asked to test and evaluate a preliminary version of the MELIORA app over a 14-day period. The DCC takes place in the early stages of the project, as part of the intervention development phase, to inform the technical refinement and preliminary evaluation of the MELIORA digital app.

Data Collection campaign

Participants will be asked to download the MELIROA app, compatible with iOS and Android, to their smartphones and test it for 14 days. The app will prompt the user to set a weekly goal on physical activity and support daily self-monitoring and step count tracking. Τhe app will also offer culturally adapted educational material through mini-courses, motivational and practical tips and an embedded library of materials relevant to physical activity, healthy diet and alcohol consumption. To boost motivation, it will also include reminders and gamification features like badges and points.
