DomainsFeedbackFuture modifications based on feedback
Exercises Participant wanted to know options on how to modify exercises Exercise physiologist will reinforce ways to modify exercises during initial teaching and weekly check-ins 
Communication Participant wanted an option on the app to explain the challenge with exercising and to be able to communicate to the exercise physiologist - Include open-ended field on the app when assessing exercise barriers and symptoms - Create video and chat features within the app to allow participants to communicate directly with the exercise physiologist 
Symptom survey - Participants felt that some of the questions on symptoms were repetitive (eg, all patients answered a set number of questions on symptoms), and they did not want to answer the symptom surveys if they did not experience the symptoms - Create algorithms on the back end where if patients respond “no” to certain symptoms, they will not have to answer questions on “severity”  - Reinforce the importance of completing the survey questions even though they did not experience certain symptoms 
- Participant felt differently throughout the day and would like a way of conveying this - Set daily required questionnaires but include the option of completing questionnaires more frequently if patients wish 
Wearable device Participant had difficulty securing the tracker with a silicone strap Use a tracker with a Velcro strap 
Other Participant stated that having a “buddy” would serve as motivation Develop a scoreboard and gaming features on the app where participants can view and compare exercise data with other participants with rewards
