A pilot study of a tool to stimulate physical activity in patients with COPD or type 2 diabetes in primary care

Abstract: We tested the performance, acceptance and user satisfaction of a tool to stimulate physical activity. The tool consisted of an accelerometer, a smartphone app and a server/web application. Patients received feedback concerning their physical activity relative to a goal, which was set in dialogue with their practice nurse. Nurses could monitor their patients' physical activity via a website. Twenty patients with COPD or type 2 diabetes used the tool for three months, combined with behaviour change counselling. … Show more

“…A total of 40 studies used smartphones and peripheral devices to measure biometrics and PROMs [28,29,31-37,39-54, 56,57,59-61,63,65,66,68-72,74,76]. We identified heterogeneity in the collection of biometrics measurements (Table 2) and PROMs (Table 3) for each chronic disease between and within chronic diseases.…”

“…The second most frequently used strategy was automated feedback [37,43,48,49,51,54,56,59,63,66,68-71,76]. The nature and extent of the automated feedback varied between studies.…”

“…We speculate that additional intervention components, such as face-to-face contact with peers and/or health care providers, would enhance the social support and motivation needed to sustain PA as a routine behavior. Use of evolving technology, such as wireless transmission and mobile connectivity with cell phones, smartphones/mobile phones, or tablets, could potentially provide anytime/anywhere access to the PA intervention and enhance its long-term efficacy [37,39,40]. Intensive counseling and support at the time of acute exacerbations and flare-up of comorbidities would address medical barriers to PA and motivate patients to continue to walk after an illness.…”

“…The projects were selected because they developed a variety of telecare products and services to support self-management in different user-groups: patients with diabetes or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) [26-28], patients with cancer pain, frail elderly people, or elderly people living at home [29]. A prerequisite for project selection was that end-users were considered official members of the development team.…”
