Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Especially for weaker elderly patients, just a few days in bed could mean that they are not able to take care of themselves afterwards, with increased care expenses and increased risk of relapse as a consequence. Even though this is known, the work to motivate patients to be active during their hospitalization is limited to few training sessions with only the most vulnerable patients. No tools are today available for objectively tracking and motivating patients to be active during their stay. Having such a professional tool would not only motivate but also shift the attention of the health professionals towards the importance of physical activity in the treatment of the patient.
The aim of the studys is to investigate if patients hospitalised for medical disease will increase their time spent out of bed during hospitalisation through simple visual feedback about physical activities from a mobile bedside device.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
All participants will have their physical activity measured during hospitalisation. Approximately half of the participants will receive visual feedback about the amount of physical activity from a mobile device placed on the bedside table.

Study Design
Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.
RANDOMIZED
PARALLEL
A participant will be assigned to the wave that the ward is allocated to at the time of admission.
The wave size for each ward is set to 10 patients.
Assignment of the waves at each department will be determined before any recruitment by means of Latin square randomisation in 2 blocks of 4 waves at the 4 participating wards.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Visual Feedback
Participants in the intervention group will receive usual hospital care and be provided with a sensor collecting data on physical activity level during hospitalisation AND a monitor placed at their bedside that displays information about their physical activity level and motivation to move. This information will be visible to the health personnel, the patients and visitors.
Physical activity measurement
To assess physical activity two small tri-axial accelerometers embedded in medical Band-Aids will be used. The accelerometers are discretely worn on the lateral aspect of the thigh.
The accelerometers sample accelerations continuously during hospitalisation and are connected wirelessly to a tablet that via an inbuilt algorithm classify the recordings as bedridden (lying down), sitting, standing, and walking.
Visual Feedback
The tablet will be placed on the patients bedside table and provides feedback on the amount of physical activity and motivational imagesand texts that will be visible for the patients, the health care staff and visitors.
Control Group
The participants in the non-exposed cohort will receive usual hospital care and be provided with a sensor collecting data on activity level during hospitalisation.No feedback on physical activity is provided.
