Brief Summary
This pilot randomized controlled trial will test the feasibility and acceptability of an Artificial Intelligence-based Multidimensional Symptom Management (AIMS) intervention for post-treatment breast cancer survivors. Thirty-six participants will be randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either the AIMS intervention or usual care. Outcomes include feasibility (recruitment and retention), adherence, acceptability, symptom burden, psychological distress, quality of life, and safety of the AIMS intervention.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (4)
Recruitment rate
Number and percentage of eligible individuals who provide informed consent and are randomized. Recruitment rate will be calculated as: number randomized ÷ number eligible × 100.
From recruitment commencement until completion of recruitment.
Participant retention at Week 12
Number and percentage of randomized participants who complete the Week 12 assessment. Retention will be calculated as: number completing the Week 12 assessment ÷ number randomized × 100.
Week 12
Adherence to the AIMS intervention
Adherence will be assessed using system-generated usage data (e.g., frequency of logins) and supplemented by participant-reported usage logs.
Weekly during Weeks 1-12, summarized at Weeks 4 and 12.
Acceptability and usability of the AIMS platform
Among intervention-group participants, acceptability and usability will be assessed using the study-specific AIMS feedback questionnaire.
Weeks 4 and 12.
