The product represents a unique approach to providing information for cancer patients. Through the use of 22 interactive tools, Moving On® encourages women to create a tailored exercise program, engage in full body relaxation and think about what is important at this time in their life; to address their social and personal concerns and improve their interactions with their loved ones and friends and colleagues; and to take an active role in monitoring their health as breast cancer survivors. Its development was funded with a grant from the National Cancer Institute's Small Business Innovation Research Program.
