About RESILIENCE

Our study wants to find out if a digital wellness platform with guidance from healthcare professionals could help endometrial cancer survivors live a healthier life by changing behaviours that could impact their nutrition, physical activity, and mental health.

The diagram shows a patient journey from endometrial cancer diagnosis to treatment and survivorship, supported by two key tools: Digital wellness platform (Left): Includes a mobile application with a user interface displaying wellness metrics (e.g., step count, meal tracking, meditation, exercise) represented with icons like a running figure, a meal plate, and a meditating person. Online healthcare professional support (Right): Shown as a computer screen with video conferencing, displaying diverse healthcare professionals in a grid format. Below these tools, a timeline flows through key milestones: Endometrial cancer diagnosis, Treatment, and Survivorship. On the right side, a circular pathway highlights health risks and comorbidities in survivorship: A woman with a measuring tape around her waist (representing obesity). An exclamation mark (symbolizing health risks). Illustrations of a uterus, a heart, a glucose monitor reading “103,” insulin, and a hospital bed (indicating risks such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes).

This study is part of a clinical trial that is being done at two different sites. One site is the University of Alberta in Edmonton, and the other site is the University of Toronto in Toronto.

What will I be doing during the study?

You will complete a set of study tests at three different time points: baseline and weeks 16 and 24.
You will attend in-person visits for these study tests.
You will fill out online surveys at home and go for a blood draw at Alberta Precision Laboratories (for Edmonton participants) or at The Univeristy of Toronto (for Toronto participants).
You will get handouts with information on how to be healthy and active.

We will provide you with a Fitbit Inspire 3 activity monitor that you will wear the entire 24 weeks of the study (24 hours/ 7 days).
Read the study leaflet with details about what you need to do, depending on which group you were assigned to.
You will use a digital wellness platform, called MyViVPlan (MVP) during or after the intervention, depending on the group that you are assigned to
You can access this platform from any device that connects to the internet (i.e., a smartphone, laptop, or tablet).

You will be encouraged to use the platform on a daily basis and attend online individual sessions with healthcare professionals.
No matter which group you are in, you will get support phone calls during the 24 weeks.
Our team of experts in nutrition, exercise, psychology, gynecologic oncology, and more will analyze the results for publications and presentations at conferences.
