Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This is a three-arm randomized controlled trial, exploring the effects of a one-month wearable device-based intervention (Garmin tracker) in increasing physical activity and improving sleep quality in adults (Target n = 75 ). The one-month follow-up assessment will be conducted to examine the remaining effects of the intervention.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does using a wearable device improve physical activity and improve sleep quality among adults?
Does the inclusion of motivational support provided via social media promote even greater effects in increasing physical activity and improvements in sleep quality?
Researchers will compare groups wearing a device and receiving motivational support via social media (intervention group 1) or wearing a device but without support (intervention 2) to a control condition (participants who do not wear a device and do not receive support) to see whether a wearable device could increase physical activity and improve sleep.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
No wearable device: Control
The control group will not wear the device at times other than completing assessments at baseline, post-intervention, and follow-up.
No interventions assigned to this group
Intervention: Device and motivational support via social media
Participants in the Device and motivational support group will wear the device (Garmin tracker) for a month. In addition, they will receive motivational support via social media.
Wearable device-based intervention (with motivational support via social media)
The wearable device-based intervention aims to reduce sedentary behavior as the Move alert function may facilitate the management of one's physical activity. Motivational support will be provided via an online community created using LINE platform. The platform serve for the following purposes: a) providing psychoeduation prior to the intervention; b) providing a place for participants to motivate and encourage each other; c) provide health knowledge to participants weekly, to motivate behavioral change; d) encouraging participants to upload their daily step count to the community page to motivate each other's progress; e) based on participant's performance, research assistants will provide tailored support using Line stickers designed for the present intervention; f) research assistants will monitor participants' step counts and provide prizes (vouchers) for those who had the most step counts and made the most improvements.
Intervention: Device
Participants in the Device group will wear the device (Garmin tracker) for a month.
Wearable device-based intervention (without support)
The wearable device-based intervention aims to reduce sedentary behavior as the Move alert function may facilitate the management of one's physical activity.
