Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Intervention Group
Participants randomized to the intervention group will receive an initial electronic communication (i.e. email) that includes:
* Link to physical activity education. This will be an educational module based on Phase 1 results and evidence-based literature regarding the benefits of physical activity in the general population and specific to axSpA.
* One week after receiving the physical activity educational module, participants will receive access to the ADAS application and an .ics file for each 3-week cycle of electronic calendar reminders to engage in physical activity.
Health technology-based intervention strategy
Patient-centered, technology-based intervention strategy aimed at increasing physical activity in patients with axSpA
Control Group
Participants randomized to the control group will receive usual care, which includes standard rheumatology care and access to educational materials on the importance of exercise and physical activity available through the TWH Spondylitis Program and through the public domain. They will receive a link to the physical activity educational module at baseline. They also have access to the program physiotherapist for a single one-hour individualized exercise consultation as requested by either the patient or the treating rheumatologist.
