Brief Summary
Sidekick Health has developed an interactive digital health program (SK-421) to support breast cancer patients. The study will be a single center pilot study with an intervention group and a comparison group aiming to recruit 66 breast cancer patients prescribed to surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and/or hormonal therapy according to standard breast cancer treatment. This pilot study will determine whether the digital health program, supporting lifestyle changes, can positively impact management of side effects, quality of life, physical activity and fitness and medication adherence in this patient population. Patients will be randomized to receive either the standard of care (SoC) treatment alone or SoC with the addition of the digital healthprogram.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Cancer-specific Quality of Life
Difference in change in total score of the 30-item Quality of life Core Questionnaire (QLQ-C30) between the intervention and control groups. This 30-item questionnaire is composed of 28 questions with a Likert scale of 4 options where 1 represents "not at all" to 4 "very much", and 2 questions with a Likert scale of 7 options where 1 represents "very poor" to 7 "excellent". Scores on the QLQ-C30 range from 30 to 126, with a lower score representing a higher quality of life.
