Digital Health Tool for Physical Activity
(YourMove Trial)
Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of a new digital health tool that uses a phone and smartwatch to encourage physical activity and increase weekly amounts of Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity (MVPA) over 12 months among adults compared to a digital health intervention that mimics a standard of care corporate wellness program.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It mainly focuses on your ability to participate in physical activity and use digital tools.
What data supports the effectiveness of the COT-Based Intervention treatment in the Digital Health Tool for Physical Activity trial?
Research shows that using digital tools like smartphone apps and activity trackers can increase physical activity levels. In a study with patients having COPD or type 2 diabetes, a similar tool increased daily physical activity and improved quality of life scores, suggesting that digital health tools can effectively boost physical activity.12345
Is the Digital Health Tool for Physical Activity generally safe for humans?
How does the COT-Based Intervention treatment differ from other treatments for increasing physical activity?
The COT-Based Intervention is unique because it uses a digital health tool that combines an accelerometer, smartphone app, and web application to provide continuous feedback and personalized goals for physical activity, which is set in collaboration with healthcare providers. This approach integrates technology with behavior change counseling, making it distinct from traditional methods that may not offer real-time monitoring and tailored feedback.1241011
