Clinical trial NCT03333850: Technology Assisted Physical Activity Among Hospitalised Patients With Respiratory Disease
Official title: Technology Assisted Physical Activity Among Hospitalised Patients With Respiratory Disease - a Controlled Cohort Study
Study type: INTERVENTIONAL
Overall status: COMPLETED
Phase: NA
Conditions: Respiratory Disease
Lead sponsor: Frederiksberg University Hospital
Sponsor class: OTHER
First posted: 2017-11-07
Enrollment: 96
Sex: ALL
Minimum age (years): 18
Standard ages: ADULT
OLDER_ADULT
Accepts healthy volunteers: no
Allocation: NON_RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: SEQUENTIAL
Intervention model description: There will be sequential inclusion to each cohort. Each sequence includes 18 patients (corresponding to the number of beds at the department). Thus the patients hospitalised during the first period will receive feedback (exposed cohort). In the second period the patients will not receive feedback (non-exposed cohort), and so forth. A total of 108 patients will be included resulting in 6 periods of 18 patients each.
Primary purpose: SUPPORTIVE_CARE

Brief summary: The aim of this study is to investigate if patients hospitalised for medical disease will increase their time spent out of bed during hospitalisation through simple feedback about physical activities from a mobile device.

Physical activity is measured by means of a pair of accelerometers embedded in band aids placed on the thigh and on the chest. The measurement is continuous and data is uploaded to a secure internet-server. Summaries of physical activity (bedrest, sitting, standing, walking) is computed and can be displayed on a mobile device (tablet) through a dedicated application.

The study will be conducted as a controlled cohort study in a large tertiary public hospital in Copenhagen, Denmark. Patients admitted to Department of Respiratory Medicine will be included and will have their physical activity measured during hospitalisation. Half of the cohort will receive visual feedback about the amount of physical activity from a mobile device placed on the bed table.

A total of 108 patients will be included resulting in 6 periods of 18 patients each.
