Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

NON_RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

SEQUENTIAL

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.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Visual feedback of physical activity

Participants in the exposure cohort will receive usual hospital care and continuous measurement of physical activity by sensors collecting physical activity level during hospitalisation AND a monitor placed at their bedside that displays information about their physical activity level, in terms of time spent bedridden, sitting, standing and walking. This information will be visible to the health personnel, the patients and their relatives.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Visual feedback of physical activity

Intervention Type DEVICE

A monitor (tablet) will display the level of physical activity during hospitalisation. The monitor will be placed at the bedside (table).

Measurement of physical activity

Intervention Type DEVICE

A pair of accelerometers placed on the chest and on the thigh will measure the physical activity level during hospitalisation. The measurement is made continuously and stored on a secure web-server.

No feedback of physical activity

The participants in the non-exposure cohort will receive usual hospital care and continuous measurement of physical activity by sensors collecting physical activity level during hospitalisation. No visual feedback is provided.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

No feedback of physical activity

Intervention Type DEVICE

There will be no visual feedback of the physical activity (no monitor placed at the bedside (table)).

Measurement of physical activity

Intervention Type DEVICE

A pair of accelerometers placed on the chest and on the thigh will measure the physical activity level during hospitalisation. The measurement is made continuously and stored on a secure web-server.
