InBody Band 3 Fitness Tracker to Improve Health Outcomes and Quality of Life in Black Prostate Cancer Survivors

Description

This clinical trial studies how well the InBody Band 3 fitness tracker works to improve physical activity, body composition, and quality of life in Black prostate cancer survivors. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and Black men are more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer in an advanced stage. Body composition is associated with disease progression, treatment response, and survival in cancer patients. Reducing stress and maintaining healthy levels of physical activity and sleep are important for a healthy body and improving outcomes, however, there is currently little evidence available on the physical activity, stress levels and sleep patterns in this population. Wearable health activity trackers and smart watches are tools that can be used to track physical activity, stress, sleep and body composition and have been shown to have a positive impact in many patient populations. The InBody Band 3 may be an effective method to improve physical activity, body composition and quality of life in Black prostate cancer survivors.
