“…Importantly, no major issues were reported concerning the use of mobile applications as a PA assessment tool in these studies. 66,73,75,91,[93][94][95] Mobile applications were also used to successfully promote PA. 51,99,100 Of the mobile application-based studies that promoted PA, every study with the exception of one used this feature to facilitate self-monitoring. Participants in a few studies in which the mobile applications were used for self-monitoring exceeded or achieved a level of PA consistent with common PA guidelines (10,000 steps per day or 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous PA per week).…”

“…Another study 73 also used a mobile application in conjunction with external sensors to track PA data. Similarly, 4 studies took advantage of the mobile phone's built-in accelerometer 67,74 or accelerometer-based mobile applications 93,94 to capture PA data. Two studies 66,72 administered ecological momentary assessment (EMA) via a mobile application and mobile phone calls.…”

Background: The use of mobile phones for physical activity (PA) promotion and assessment represents an attractive research area because this technology is characterized by a widespread reach and dynamic features. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review of mobile phone -based approaches for encouraging and assessing PA. Methods: Eligible studies were identified through a search of PubMed and PsycINFO and required to address the usability of mobile phones for PA promotion and/or measurement, be written in English, and be published in a peer-reviewed journal between 2010 and 2013. Results: Fiftytwo studies were included in this review. The use of mobile phones for PA promotion, assessment, and both promotion and assessment were addressed by 27, 19, and 6 studies, respectively. Out of 26 studies that reported a PA behavior change outcome, 13 observed favorable PA changes, 3 found mixed results, and 10 found no improvements. Ten studies examined the validity of mobile phones for PA assessment and 9 reported favorable outcomes. Participants found mobile phones to be highly acceptable. Discussion: The findings suggest that mobile phones have great potential as a PA promotion and assessment tool among a variety of individuals. Translation to Health Education Practice: Mobile phones may provide practitioners with efficient ways to promote PA and valid ways to assess PA.

“…21 Further, the limited evidence base is inconclusive. For example, though a noncommercial app used with obese patients (age [11][12][13][14][15] resulted in weight reduction and improvements to intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, 27 other nonrandomized interventions (age [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] report no significant differences in diet/nutrition or physical activity behaviors. 21 In an account of young girls' (age 11-15) experiences of commercial health apps and wearable devices (eg, Popsugar Active or Strava), heightened levels of body dissatisfaction were reported 14 -a known variable evidenced to impact negatively on physical activity behaviors.…”

Background: Considerable numbers of young people are not meeting physical activity guidelines. Wearable fitness devices can provide opportunities for physical activity promotion. Purpose: The aim of the study was to explore whether wearable healthy lifestyle technologies impacted on adolescents' (13-to 14-year-olds) motivation for physical activity. Methods: The study was a mixed method sequential design. Participants were 84 adolescents (44 girls, 40 boys) from 6 physical education classes. Pupils were issued with a Fitbit to wear for 8 weeks and completed pre-/posttest questionnaires that assessed motivational regulation and psychological need satisfaction. Adolescents also engaged in focus group interviews after wearing the Fitbit for 8 weeks. Quantitative data were analyzed using a repeated measures multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) to explore differences between gender and time. Qualitative data analysis was conducted deductively using self-determination theory. Results: The quantitative findings identified significant reductions in need satisfaction and autonomous motivation and significant increases in amotivation after 8 weeks. Qualitative evidence suggested short-term increases in motivation through feelings of competition, guilt, and internal pressure. Discussion: Findings suggest that healthy lifestyle technology may have negative motivational consequences. Translation to Health Education Practice: Certified Health Education Specialists should support young people to personalize health targets in order to critically engage with normalized health targets.

“…In spite of this lack of literature, promising clinical reports have been published about the usefulness of mobile phone devices in promoting healthy habits and weight loss attitudes (Rao et al, 2011; Park and Kim, 2012; Pellegrini et al, 2012; Schiel et al, 2012; Bacigalupo et al, 2013; Hebden et al, 2013; Rodrigues et al, 2013; Schoffman et al, 2013; Sharifi et al, 2013; Shaw et al, 2013). …”

Obesity and outpatient rehabilitation using mobile technologies: the potential mHealth approach

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Obesity is currently an important public health problem of epidemic proportions (globesity). Inpatient rehabilitation interventions that aim at improving weight-loss, reducing obesity-related complications and changing dysfunctional behaviors, should ideally be carried out in a multidisciplinary context with a clinical team composed of psychologists, dieticians, psychiatrists, endocrinologists, nutritionists, physiotherapists, etc. Long-term outpatient multidisciplinary treatments are likely to constitute an essential aspect of rehabilitation. Internet-based technologies can improve long-term obesity rehabilitation within a collaborative approach by enhancing the steps specified by psychological and medical treatment protocols. These outcomes may be augmented further by the mHealth approach, through creating new treatment delivery methods to increase compliance and engagement. mHealth (m-health, mobile health) can be defined as the practice of medicine and public health, supported by mobile communication devices for health services and information. mHealth applications which can be implemented in weight loss protocols and obesity rehabilitation are discussed, taking into account future research directions in this promising area.
