Measure
Standard Exercise/Control
Participants were given standard exercise recommendations that are given to all patients based on the federal guidelines. They also monitored their step counts using a wearable device and received daily feedback.
Daily Feedback With Financial Incentive
Participants were given standard exercise recommendations that are given to all patients based on the federal guidelines. They also monitored their step counts using a wearable device, received daily feedback and were eligible for a financial incentive if their goals were achieved. Daily feedback: Daily feedback from an activity tracking device worn on the wrist to track step counts and sleep patterns Financial incentive: A daily financial incentive framed as a loss of $2 each day goal is not achieved

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and end of Maintenance Period at Week 16

The primary outcome variable is the change in mean daily step count from the baseline period to the maintenance period (weeks 9-16).

Outcome measures

Outcome measures
Measure
Control
n=55 Participants
Participants will be given standard exercise recommendations that are given to all patients based on the federal guidelines. They will monitor their step counts using a wearable device and receive daily feedback. Daily feedback: Daily feedback from an activity tracking device worn on the wrist to track step counts and sleep patterns
Intervention
n=50 Participants
Participants will be given a wearable device to monitor daily step counts with automated daily feedback on goal attainment via text message or email. A baseline step count will be calculated for each participant (weeks 1-2) and then they will be given a daily step goal with an increase of 15 percentage point each week during the 8-week ramp-up period (weeks 3-10) with a maximum goal of 10,000 steps. Then they'll be asked to maintain that step count (maintenance period). During the ramp-up and maintenance period they'll have a financial incentive of $14 allocated each week and $2 taken away each day the goal is not achieved. They'll be followed up for 8 weeks without incentives Financial incentive: A daily financial incentive framed as a loss of $2 each day goal is not acheived Daily feedback: Daily feedback from an activity tracking device worn on the wrist to track step counts and sleep patterns

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and end of Follow Up Period at week 24

Secondary outcomes include change in mean daily steps from the baseline period to the follow-up period (weeks 17-24).
