About Us
The DEFEATcancer Activity Tracker is What the Doctored Ordered for you to be rewarded for physical acitivity to improve your health. And if you are a cancer survivor, the DC Tracker can help improve your life qualitatively (how you live) and quite possibly quantitively (how long you live). The peer-reviewed medical literature now documents how exercise can both prevent cancer and reduce the recurrence of cancer in those diagnosed to have it.
For three years, DEFEATcancer has been working on a method to allow any activity, no matter how sedentary (e.g. bedmaking or gardening) or vigorous (marathon running), to be tracked by cancer patients/survivors so as to encourage them towards better survival. We originally issued pedometers to our participants, based on 7 randomized trials that documented their benefit, but subsequently found a way to convert virtually all activities to step and thereby avoid having to wear a pedometer.
